- "Markov Chains for programmers." Cool!
- Opens PDF.
- Typeset in Computer Modern.
- Starts running, screaming in Comic Sans.
Jokes aside, CM is not the only game for math-heavy documents. Something like Libertinus [1] would probably be more screen-friendly.

- kjs3 5y agoThis is seriously the most insightful comment you can come up with? If it is, you would do well to consider silence.
- layer8 5y agoThis has been downvoted, but I think selecting more screen-friendly fonts is a valid concern nowadays. Personally I would also like to see a reflowable format (which I guess would mean HTML with MathJax).
- mattalex 5y agoUse latexml this is what's running under the hood of ar5iv https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/ https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/ and should be able to compile every Latex document to html
- spekcular 5y agoWhat's wrong with computer modern?
- dddnzzz334 5y agoComputer Modern is the best looking font
- MonkeyClub 5y agoWith Comic Sans a close second, surely.
- raister 5y agoOnly the frontispiece uses a different font (can't say for sure whether it is Comic Sans though) - the rest is pure Times new Roman.
- raister 5y agoThe author has uploaded a version of the book in the libertinus font - I guess he heard your complaints!
