[comp.text.tex] Fonts for Journal

c3ar@zaphod.uchicago.edu (Walter C3arlip) (11/21/90)

A colleague of mine produces a journal.  Currently the articles are written
with amstex using the usual cm fonts and typset on a high resolution
typsetter; the result is quite nice . . . . but . . .

The cm fonts appear to be very compact, and the resulting copy is quite
dense. We would like to find fonts that produce more "readable" copy (e.g.,
a font more like schoolbook or bookman as compared to times).  Has anyone
produced such a font?  (Of course it would need to have all the proper
mathematics symbols, or coexist well with the cm symbols.)

Does Adobe's Lucida font work well with mathematics?
Is Knuth's Concrete font easier to read than the cm fonts?
What does Academic Press use in their journals (these seem to be less
compactly set than the ams journals)?

Thanks!

--Walter
