I edit a genre fiction and we do all our layout in XeTeX. I picked it because it's the right tool for the job, and I don't know PageMaker. The colophon calls attention to it because I think it's helpful to tell others how you made something (typefaces, tools, etc.) rather than for nerd cred.

The typefaces are Minion and Myriad.
- eriknstr 10y agoWhen I copy text from your PDF it comes out all garbled. Does this happen to others as well? Is it intentional; some form of copy protection?
- bhickey 10y agoHuh, totally weird. Maybe it's an encoding issue? The character appear to be getting shifted by -39 (ex. c 143 ->D 104) I never noticed because I'm typesetting for print.
- andrewshadura 10y agoI think you need to use some PDF package to have the encoding set correctly. I had the same issue in the past, but I don't remember how I solved it.

- jimhefferon 10y agoDon't know about the parent's intentions, but making the PDF from LaTeX copy-able is mostly a matter of putting this in the preamble. \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} See also http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/64198/121234 http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/64198/121234 and http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/119718/121234 http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/119718/121234.
- adrienne 10y agoPageMaker has been dead software for like 10 years now, fwiw. InDesign is the modern replacement.
- geeio 10y agoI enjoyed that snippet, what is it from?
- ulrikrasmussen 10y agoSince you said you were editing this: Is "horribly familiar horribly familiar" a double typo?
