Century Old Style is a beuatiful typeface, and I've used it for mathematical text. Its appearance reminds me of German mathematical books of the '20's and '30's. Unfortunately, the LaserWriter doesn't do such a good job reproducing it. While we're on the subject of typefaces, let me mention that I've tried the Century Schoolbook typeface that Bitstream offered as a special promotion a couple of months ago. I like it better than Adobe's New Century Schoolbook, and it produces very nice LaserWriter output for regular text, but it interacts very badly with some of the special features of Microsoft Word, like the formatting of quotients. I get the impression that there's something peculiar about the Bitstream font's fractional widths table. Has anyone else noticed problems like this? David H.
