The text doesn't use an `f`. If you copy from e.g. the 1700 passage you get `ſ` not `f`.

- poly2it 8mo agoProbably people are confused by ligatures. Indeed it is a long S.
- KPGv2 8mo agoThis is correct. And if you don't like that font's long-s, you can fix it with document.body.style.fontFamily = "Baskerville"; Baskerville has a nice long-s. TNR is also not bad. Garamond is passable.
- bryanrasmussen 8mo agothanks for the Baskerville recommendation. on edit: liked the Garamond better, since the font is a bit thicker, checked it on "ſpake" and was obviously a long S whereas on the thinner Baskerville still looked like an f to me. Although the original text was perhaps too thick for me.
- bryanrasmussen 8mo agohmm you're right, I guess my eyesight is worse than I thought
