Printing-imperfections-and-defects-with-tex








While seeing Heart vs Mind Documentary [1], a feeling of creation doomed me again, and this time is regarded to the use of fonts that are a reminiscence of the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution around the XV century so as to use these fonts within LaTeX [2].

Henceforth, the previous image was created by using latex source code version 000 which is available at http://pastebin.com/LgVAe7q1


I would claim that the following idea is also delightful to my taste:

Quite remarkable, the human nature: at first we pursue perfection and when we achieve something along those lines, we suddenly desire vintage and controlled imperfection. We can find the same trend in clothing, design, art in general. It would be interesting to see major journals switch to monospaced fonts.     Harold Cavendish Jul 7 '13 at 21:05
