What do you think ?

I've already used PT Sans for some documents. It's a really nice font in my amateur opinion. However, I wasn't aware of the new PT Serif font. I'll check that out later. As a new year present, here is the typescript I use for PT Sans: \starttypescriptcollection [ptsans] \usetypescriptfile[type-optical] \starttypescript [\s!sans] [ptsans] \definefontsynonym [PTSans-Regular] [\s!name:ptsansregular] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [PTSans-Italic] [\s!name:ptsansitalic] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [PTSans-Bold] [\s!name:ptsansbold] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [PTSans-BoldItalic] [\s!name:ptsansbolditalic] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [PTSans-Caption] [\s!name:ptsanscaption] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [PTSans-CaptionBold] [\s!name:ptsanscaptionbold] [\s!features=\s!default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [\s!sans] [ptsans-narrow] \definefontsynonym [PTSans-Narrow] [\s!name:ptsansnarrow] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [PTSans-NarrowBold] [\s!name:ptsansnarrowbold] [\s!features=\s!default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [\s!sans] [ptsans] \setups[font:optical:sans] \definefontsynonym [SansRegular-Regular] [PTSans-Regular] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [SansRegular-Italic] [PTSans-Italic] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [SansRegular-Bold] [PTSans-Bold] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [SansRegular-BoldItalic] [PTSans-BoldItalic] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [SansCaption-Regular] [PTSans-Caption] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [SansCaption-Bold] [PTSans-CaptionBold] [\s!features=\s!default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [\s!sans] [ptsans-narrow] \setups[\s!font:\s!fallback:\s!sans] \definefontsynonym [\s!Sans] [PTSans-Narrow] [\s!features=\s!default] \definefontsynonym [\s!SansBold] [PTSans-NarrowBold] [\s!features=\s!default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [ptsans] \definetypeface [ptsans] [ss] [\s!sans] [ptsans] [optical] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [ptsans-narrow] \definetypeface [ptsans-narrow] [ss] [\s!sans] [ptsans-narrow] [\s!default] \stoptypescript \stoptypescriptcollection Vianney

pdfopt is ghostscript, that is the pdf is fed into a PostScript RIP, which spits out linearized pdf. qpdf uses a pdf library and reorganizes the pdf so it is linearized. So it "knows" more about pdf than gs, is much lighter (one binary and one lib with together <1MB compared to ghostscript), much less can go wrong (e.g. images are not changed) and IMHO the support for qpdf is much better. :-) Best Martin

What do you think ?

impressive coverage of contemporary alphabets, matching sans/serif is nice too. The serif bold face is a bit too dark for my taste, I wonder how it looks on paper. I append a typescript & testfile. Thanks for the link, Philipp
