I'm Wesley. I have a longstanding love-affair with books, but less with type, so I thought I'd join you to see if I could get some education on the topic. My favourite font is Papyrus. I would never use it, but there's something that resonates deeply with me. The writing I self-publish is all written in Markdown, translated to LaTeX and then compiled. Purists will probably be horrified, but I find it easy to get above average results with very close to no time spent on formatting.
