Well, I guess there is not a solution readily at hand. Awaiting that, I will

Cecil, thanks for asking this question. Even though the answers
may/will be subjective, it is quite likely that there are people here
who have given some thought to font choice. I agree with previous
responses that reading a book on typography would certainly be

All,
I am using ConTeXt to create a PDF for upload to Lulu.com.
I am getting the following exception using the LuLu Python publication API on
Mac OS X 10.6.6 with Python 2.6.6 or 2.7.1:
ServiceError: Couldn't create Lulu project. '{error_type:
LFilesystemException, error_value: shell command
Dear all,
In light of the question on fonts I have wondered how ConTeXt deals with this
Monotype Baskerville 11/12.5 pt
or
Monotype 11 on 12 point Bembo
that I see at the beginning of books.
Are there commands to achieve this. There probably are but I haven't recognised
them.
Thanks,
Hi,
Graphic designers describe in this way the font-size and linespacing.
So one can do things like this:
\definedfont[Baskerville at 11pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=12.5pt]...

Ah Willi,
It is quite clear now. I did think along those lines but wasn't sure.

Hi,
like others before, I tried to get the script alphabet from Ralph
Smith's Formal Font to work in MkIV (minimals) and failed. There seems
to be only outdated or unclear and unspecific information about where to
start with fonts available. Or: there is information everywhere but I
can't
Thank you Hraban,
It is falling into place now.

Hi,
I recently started to dabble in typography. There's a lot to learn
there. The proposed book sure is a good start, but there are also lots
of online resources (e.g. www.typophile.com - their forum is filled with
interesting discussions about your question).

It's probably best to check with Adobe before using it commercially or
