I must say I recently fell in love with Minion Pro and I'm really grateful that it's available on Typekit. What I'm really looking forward to though, in term of web typography, is a broader adoption of the font-feature-settings CSS property

Just trying to be witty, I've renamed the option "print". But basically the idea is exactly what you suggested: have a version which can render OK on print and where you can specify exactly what shades of gray are used in print (or plain bl

A CV in LaTeX does not have to be typesetted in Computer Modern nor have a dry "LaTeX feel". Using XeTeX, TikZ, fontspec and Open Type fonts you can do fun stuff that look gorgeous. The great thing for me is that I can directly import my .b
