The PostScript green book is supposedly typeset in Stone Serif with Stone Sans headers. This is the first time I've seen the Stone fonts. According to the green book, they were designed at Adobe Systems by Sumner Stone, Director of Typography. My question is, how does Stone Serif differ from Palatino except that Stone's n and related characters have a double right serif? Has anyone asked Hermann Zapf (creator of Palatino) what he thinks of Stone? Just speaking for myself, I like Palatino better. Bill
