Gutenberg's claim to fame really isn't moveable type. It's die cast metal
type with a standardized typeface.
Just to clarify, Gutenberg is often given credit for moveable type, but it
was in use a half century earlier in Korea. Also, there is some debate as
to whether Laurens Janzoon Koster (Holland) or Parnfilo Castaldi (Italy)
were using moveable type before Gutenberg.
