But what's a nightmare for you is exactly the thing that appeals to me! I
love reading "ye olde bookes," with the early typographic styles (long esses, u/v placement, fancy-schmancy ligatures, etc.).
I'm quite aware that what I"m doing will have a very limited audience and appeal -- but then, I
am going to only be publishing it on the iBooks Store, so there's a pretty good chance that practically nobody will ever see it anyway.
