Ick. What's up with the promille? Historical Notes : Courier Off the top of my head, I thought Courier originated with (designed by? commissioned by?) IBM. I can look into it. Historical Notes : Charter "Charter offers small cap, extension and alternate typographer sets that help to make it more versatile and functional." This is misleading in a book focussed on free TeXLive fonts. I would suggest: "Bitstream offers small cap, extension and alternate typographer sets that help to make Charter more versatile and functional." Interesting design (as always!) adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
