Thanks from me, too, to Taco for the change summary... I notice this:
new typescript: optima (uses optima-nova & palatino & lmtt)
Which is cool, but there's a free URW Optima clone available ("URW-
Classico"), that potentially makes Optima available to everyone. It's
slightly "buggy" as a font, but perfectly workable if you're not as
demanding as Walter A. Schmidt. (No offense to him--he has to be
demanding, given his role!)
I can do a release of these fonts, once we figure out a few things:
1) what to call this family (optima? optima-nova? classico?),
2) how to package this up for people, and
3) where to put it.
If you want an early play, you can download the fonts from
