Or do you have any other suggestions? No, I haven't done anything further, or even sampled most of the fonts other than looking at single lines. I believe that correcting kerning, etc, means getting into "fontinst," which I know nothing about. And doesn't it require LaTeX? of which I am also ignorant. I can imagine more logical TeX font tools, but (a) don't want to reinvent the wheel, (b) don't have time anyway. -Bill -- Sattre Press Tales of War http://sattre-press.com/ by Lord Dunsany info@sattre-press.com http://tow.sattre-press.com/
