um, actually the guy i'm supposed to talk to about this, i sort of
don't like him very much. while we're on the topic, can you tell me
which software you regularly use?

by "commercial printing" do you mean sending it to the publisher? or
does it mean printing for sale (word "commerical")...we're going to
send it to the publisher i think, but i don't think we're going to
make it for sale.

> • How would you define "best?"

nice and clear dots over and below the letters, nice and clear bars
over the vowels (and of course, nice and clear letters)...because
i've seen certain chanting books and the bars are so thin they're
hardly visible.

Would you still recommend "Bitstream Goudy Old Style" or "Garamond"?
I have done this once before with "tahoma" fonts, but i'm not sure
if they're professional-looking.

You're like a pali font expert, huh. Thank you for sharing your
knowledge.

Cheers,
June
