The sample actually looks pretty good. I opened the attachment in Preview and greatly enlarged it. If anything, it might be slightly too light, but as close to perfect as any other script I've looked at. I looked at the semibold version on the Adobe website and I think it would be too heavy -- more too heavy than the regular weight is too light. It appears to me that the regular version would print well at 9 and 10pt, or at least as well as boondox. (For example, my old ps type 1 Linoscript does not print well at 10pt and below.)<br><br>I'm using the very latest TeXLive, I already have TeXFontUtility, FontForge, and the bickram.zip file from ctan. If I were to install this .otf font (changing the tilt angle to 20% as you suggest), what would be my easiest and most idiot proof overall route?
