Whoa, many thanks! I could download all but not Styx Two Text. Note: all of these include multiple static fonts that you can use in APub. Print at least a chapter and read it completely. Test these font families with your text and see how they look. If you decide to use that one I can attach the updated version. There is a v3.200 available from another repo with a few updates/fixes. Lots of OpenType features, lots of languages - and optical size. Was originally created as the brand typeface for Google Play Books. Literata - A contemporary serif typeface family for long-form reading Recommend you avoid it and use a modern font.Īnother high quality text font.little different style. Times New Roman is not a modern font - compared to the first three above. There is also an update to Libre Caslon in the works, but that is way off. It is in the Google Fonts pipeline to be upgraded in the future. Not much in the way of OpenType features. STIX Two Text - (described as "a fresh take on Times Roman") Use the release download from the repo, not from Google Fonts. Many OpenType features, and optical size - this is a professional font for free. This Pro version has more features, and more styles available than the Text family.Īnd it has a variable font which you could use to make your own custom weight if you desire. Google Fonts has been updating this family, and not keeping the public sources up-to-date. There are a number of high quality "free" OFL-licensed font families which are good for text.Ĭrimson Pro - (probably the closest to Minion) Is "" a good place to purchase fonts? I'm reading this article here: and its link to purchase a font goes to that site. Google fonts provide "Libre Caslon" and it looks good in Word document. I discovered that Caslon is also a good font for body text? (Never heard of this before). What do you guys to with your chocies regarding fonts for body text? What are great ( the best, for you) fonts to use for body text? And what are free fonts to use and what are fonts many people are willing to purchase?Īfter posting this, I began search on this topic, and am realizing this is a huge topic and has been discussed over and over in many venues. I somehow assumed the fonts that are default in MS Word are free to use for commercial purposes (and Georgia and Gararmond, not to mention TNR, are default, aren't they). So knowing little about fonts to begin with, I became more confused. About what fonts are free and good for body text, its response was: Libre Baskerville, Crimson Text, and some others. The same for Georgia, Garamond and Baskerville. I asked ChatGPT about whether Times New Roman is a free font and it says No, I need to have license to use it for commercial purposes. But then, it seems, strictly speaking, there aren't that many free fonts. If the font is indeed Minion and I should have license to use it for commercial purposes, I would consider going about it soon. So the Minion Pro (it's not one of the default fonts, I assume) I downloaded must be a demo, or pirated version, not the official, licensed version. And the search I've done let me know that Minion is not a free font. I added a number of fonts to the default fonts of Publisher but I did not add any font that requires license for commercial use. I opened my Publisher to see whether it has Minion. Is it Minion? (I tried to find out what font it is and was told that it is Minion). And the font used in the image below can be that font, it seems to me. I think it would be great to have one, single, font that would always be the first choice to consider for body text. But now that I'll be formatting for an actual book, I would like to know what font to settle on. I did all the practicing with a manuscript in Times New Roman. Having done quite a bit of practicing, I am ready to do actual formatting for a paperback.
