Hi,

Gentium looks pretty nice, though for some reason I have problems with it when converting a document into PDF with OO's PDF function. It works when I use a virtual printer (via Ghostscript), but then there is no way of keeping the table of contents functionality. At least not with the program I use (FreePDF XP). However, Thryomanes should be very much close to Times New Roman regarding the character design. Titus Cyberbit is as well, but the line height of the characters is higher there, about 1.5 times the default line height of Times. Regards Carsten ... using the Gmail web interface and hoping that this mail will go to Conlang-L and not only to Herman.
