Thomas, With industrial tools, fractions will be use in 14 point heads, 10 point descriptive text, and in 9 points cells of item info and pricing. Completely arbitrary is how I built them in Quark by bolding the numerals first, then converting to fractions. Is open type all that's available with fractions and spread sheet figures. I kinda like a classic old style face like Caslon, Bembo, or Janson. I've got plenty of line length available. Also like Frutiger, and might only need to learn the fewest strokes to make a list of fractions. Tim
