Hi,
I uploaded a work-in-progress manual:
I have to say that I am *very* impressed. 1. Aesthetically, this seems to be the most beautiful of ConTeXt manuals. 2. I've only read half a page, but the style also seems to be very nice - the introduction was just great. 3. From the number of pages and the table of contents I assume that I'll be able to learn a lot about fonts from this - and that's great! Now the file has been sent to my Kindle, and the only thing I'm afraid of is the reading experience on 6"... Hans, I know that you don't like (today's) ebook readers, but what about preparing a version with larger fonts/smaller margins for us Kindle users? Given the typographical quality of most Kindle ebooks, you may assume that when we read on a Kindle, we don't care too much about aesthetics (which, btw, is incomprehensible for me: the technology to typeset text automatically in an (at least) decent way (including hyphenation) has been around for some 30 years, and yet they didn't manage to do it right...), so you might just change a few things in \setuplayout etc. and throw it into the net...

i fear that the resolution is not good enough for the examples ... we would need real narrow tt and very small examples (i did consider an electronic version but lack time now) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

HI,
just downloaded the beautiful fonts-MKIV manual onto my Android 7" tablet
(inexpensive Samsung) and it displays quite well both with Adobe Reader and
the Kindle reader. with Adobe reader all hyperlinks work great and there
is no comparison to the Kindle as a pdf reader. Kindle is nice for reading
and navigating through pages with horizontal scrolling, but you loose all
cross-links and hyperlinks.
Congratulations for the great work.
