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
helpful. Nevertheless, I am
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.

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
