In his excellent book on typography, Emil Ruder mentions
some classic typeface/language pairs -- French and Garamond,
for instance. (Together with some interesting visual examples
of text in the same typeface set in different languages.)
Is a particular typeface the mainstay of German publishing?
I know I could go look at my library's German publications,
but I'm not sure that would be representative.
Information from a German reader would probably be most convincing.

Thanks for any help,
Karl.   karl@umb.edu   ...!harvard!umb!karl
