I notice this: >new typescript: optima (uses optima-nova & palatino & lmtt) Which is cool, but there's a free URW Optima clone available ("URW- Classico"), that potentially makes Optima available to everyone. It's slightly "buggy" as a font, but perfectly workable if you're not as demanding as Walter A. Schmidt. (No offense to him--he has to be demanding, given his role!) I can do a release of these fonts, once we figure out a few things: 1) what to call this family (optima? optima-nova? classico?), 2) how to package this up for people, and 3) where to put it. If you want an early play, you can download the fonts from , with the urwfonts_t1-1.40 package. The following lines are from a batchfile for texfont. # urw optima --en=? --ve=urw --co=optima --ro=TEXMFLOCAL --pat=o004* --en=? --ve=urw --co=optima --ro=TEXMFLOCAL --pat=o00400[34]t --ca=* -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
