Have a look at the font display. This is a conversion of Adobe's Brioso Pro and includes the italic and bold versions of the font. It's really spectacular. I tried converting 5 or 6 fonts to iSilo to get a good serif font and wound up having to go with Times New Roman because most lost comfortable legibility (at least at the sizes I was using). Not that there's anything wrong with Times, mind you! But it's so mundane... Being a reader geek I prefer a refined typeface. (Do you ever pick up a new book, flip it open, see the typeface and get that much more excited about reading it? There are a handful of fonts that do that to me.) I haven't seen a bad conversion yet into the Plucker format and I've done a few of the Adobe fonts for experimentation (though to be fair I had to play with the sizing a bit).


Obviously there's more to plucker than the typeface, but I find that it is really comparable to iSilo in all other avenues. There's still a few pros and cons. Perhaps I'll need to write a review shortly. To me, the font makes a big difference, so it weighs more than it might for others...
