It looks very nice, but I'm genuinely curious as to why someone would go to the trouble of TeXing up a document and choose to use anything other than the standard Computer Modern font. Is it purely a matter of taste?
- cies 15y agoYuk, that font look horrendous... > Is it purely a matter of taste? I'd like to believe otherwise, but you are probably right. :) It's pretty easy to change fonts, I include one example for Linux Libertine in the code.
- pbsd 15y agoI don't understand what it is about Palatino that people find attractive; it looks ugly as shit to me. I've cycled through most of the fonts available in LaTeX (and beyond, with XeTeX), and always end up reverting back to lmodern. I guess it is a matter of taste.
- dfc 15y agoAre you serious? I'm not sure what I disagree with more: "The value of latex can only be realized when using computer modern." Or "Computer modern is the best font for every type of text in every document."
- davidmr 15y agoI said I was genuinely curious, not that it was done wrong. There's no need to look for an argument where none exists. I've written and/or read literally hundreds of TeXed documents, all in native TeX fonts and not once thought, "gee. This would pop more in a different font." I will happily concede that your imagination is grander than mine. I was interested, asked a question, received an answer, and have since moved on.
