Just started planning a conversion of an industrial products catalog from Quark to InDesign. I'm waiting for Markzware Q2ID to convert the Quark document. I used Century Old Style 10/12 for text, Frutiger Black 14 for heads, and Frutiger 9/11 for product info and pricing. I liked these typefaces, even though I horizontally scaled the Century text to 105%, and compressed the Frutiger heads to 95%. Biggest concern now is how all the fractions in both typefaces will convert into InDesign. Does InDesign offer any faster ways to build fractions, or is it easier to look for new typefaces that include numerators and denomiators for diagonal fractions? Thank you, Tim
