A Wheezy Steampunk posted:tight kerning makes a design dean and modem good kerning shouldn't do that but too many people just go "-50? well it's ok but... -100 is where it's at" and don't bother doing pairs like you're supposed to

Hed posted:your posts are already written in something called "humor sans" thanks for all the great suggestions friends, i've decided to go with computer modern. it has all the style and class of times new roman but with that little twist that lets you know i'm a real font connoisseur

yeah i'm kinda sick of it in my documents tbh. i tried switching to whatever the default latex sans family is, which is a nice change but it doesn't work properly with maths environments. and i haven't had a bad enough day at work recently to want to try seriously font janitoring my latex

make sure to do this by actually just sending TeX from your server that a JavaScript implementation of TeX and Metafont render client-side

Cocoa Crispies posted:don't even joke about that what the gently caress happened to TeX these past couple decades anyway? I had a PowerBook 520 in college, and with 120MB of disk I had plenty of room for not just all the usual stuff like the OS, a word processor, a mail client, a browser, and CodeWarrior, but even room for a serious editor (Alpha) and a LaTeX environment to use with it now the "lite" TeX distribution is larger than that entire drive

i set almost all of my stuff in various futuras or garamonds. i enjoy futura condensed a lot. as far as free fonts go, i've become a fan of raleway. nice geometric one that kinda splits the weirdness difference between futura and kabel
