3 styles of mathematical typesetting
This pages is devoted to show 3 versions of the 2 same
pages from a book of H. Cartan typesetted in 3 different manners, each
one according to a coherent design.
After looking at it, you should email me
your opinion.The base font is Utopia Expert, the greek charachters
come from Lucida). The samples are in postscript, fonts downloaded
as 600dpi bitmaps.
- The basic version.
- The half/half version. Here, all numbers
used in a text context (such as equation numbers, chapter numbers...)
are old style (hanging) but they are lining (tabular) in maths.
- Theall \oldstyle version ends the
contest. Here, there is no `uppercase' digit any more, everything is
oldstyle.
I keep the discussions I receive on this theme in this file.
