	    Linotype Library - a new company with a long
            tradition

            Since May 1st 1997 the Linotype Library - as a division
            of the Heidelberg Group - is a legally independant
            company. It carries on a more than 110 years old
            heritage. Famous names like Linotype-Hell AG, D.
            Stempel AG, Haas'sche Schriftgießerei and Deberny &
            Peignot are the roots of the Linotype Library. Ottmar
            Mergenthaler not to be forgotten, the inventor of the
            type setting machine. Mergenthaler's breakthrough
            soon became known as the Linotype. Quickly adopted
            by major newspapers around the world, the Linotype
            initiated a new freedom in the creation of everything
            from newspapers to books, from advertisements to a
            wide range of literature. With this invention Ottmar
            Mergenthaler could indeed be called the founder of the
            later Linotype group of companies.

Hope this helps,
Ulrik.
