Re: Auto selecting optical sizes for a font

[Andres Conrado Montoya <andresconrado@gmail.com>]

Thank you so much, Hans. :) It works great!.

I must agree, however, with Georg's considerations. I am very grateful
for the current solution, but an automatic selection of optical sizes
could be insanely good, from a book designer point of view (I'm a book
designer). Just for the curious, these are some links that go deeper
in the theme of Optical Sizes for Typography:

4. Book: Typography Monographs Vol. 2 - "Size-specific Adjustments to
Type Designs: An Investigation of the Principles Guiding the Design of
Optical Sizes" by Tim Ahrens, MA.

Thank you all. :)

intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion
to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international
politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of
the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look
at that, you son of a bitch.’” — Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell
