Gee, too bad, I'd just assumed that all (or most) readers did that, where you just tap on an image and get the bigger version. Oh well. Perhaps my best bet is just to re-do that chapter and insert full-page versions of each of the images used in there (there's only 3 of those portraits, so it's not too bad).

By the way what value do you see in the 18th century ct combination being preserved? I modified mine in a book I am working on along with the long s as not adding to the readability.
Oh, I definitely wouldn't incorporate the long-s in this text, but personally I love those ligatures! I wish this font had them for "st", too, but it doesn't. Others involved with this project have commented that they really like them as well (without my even mentioning them -- they brought it up themselves), so I guess I'm stickin' with 'em.

Thanks for the reply, Dale! I guess I gotta bite the bullet and just re-do that chapter using full-page images instead. Oh well.
