> Hey, from the blog post this looks like a nice font for lyrics. (I think Joshua didn't want to say that he doesn't _like_ the looks of Minion but I think he's looking for a free alternative). Actually, I'm not necessarily looking for a free alternative. Free alternatives that are "excellent" take a long time to come by. I am interested in *any* font, free or otherwise, that can suit the purposes. > Well, apart from Minion Pro ... I think what follows is correct. Minion Pro is a *wonderful* font. It is beautifully designed, with incredible metrics and contrast. It is one of the nicest fonts I've ever used. But, it is *not quite* what I'm looking for. I'm publishing a hymnal. I need to be able to have something that is readable and not anemic at small font sizes. In addition, I need something with slightly smaller descenders, and it needs to be economical without becoming anemic at smaller sizes. > Opera Lyrics Smooth... I think it is overkill. At one point in the font's history it wasn't so homely. It was crisp and clear. A copy of the font scanned roughly into a font file is not something I'm interested in following up on (besides, it does look a little wide). If you are interested in considering a professionally/commercially made font, I found these in my research are good alternatives: - ITC Century Book Condensed - ITC Cheltenham Condensed - ITC Garamond Condensed - Garth Graphic Condensed - Kepler Condensed - Scala Condensed - Times New Roman Condensed* *I'm not interested in the slightest in using TNR. It is for comparison. Sincerely, Josh
