Evaluate typographical beauty of a document (widow, orphans, hyphens, etc) in order to optimize the page geometry @Xavier What I meant was a mean or a median of the badness caused by whatever sins we are looking for (widows and orphans, multiple hyphenated lines, etc.). Imagine the total badness of a 700-page document that has one minor sin every ten pages or so, compared with your one-pager. Total badness is useful only for very short or very similar documents (say, all of your documents are about 50-page long). But if we can calculate total badness, we can get the average badness easily – so it could be a plus. |

Evaluate typographical beauty of a document (widow, orphans, hyphens, etc) in order to optimize the page geometry @Xavier (Continued) If you feel that my suggestions are worthwhile, could you please update your question to include them, and delete this second comment. I have no solution for you, but think both points would deserve a package (that I do not have the skills to write). |

Evaluate typographical beauty of a document (widow, orphans, hyphens, etc) in order to optimize the page geometry @Xavier 1. I think your reason is interesting, but not solely for the purpose you state. It would be very interesting indeed for everyone if LaTeX could tell us where are the widows, orphans and hyphens (perhaps with a \marginpar), for proofreading purposes, and it would be easy to add a counter so you know how many there are. For horizontal spacing, you will get "underfull \hbox" warnings. 2. I think it would be better to output a mean and/or a median level of badness, as well as the extremes. Otherwise, any long document will have a huge badness rate. |

Coordinating the work of Biblatex style authors @pavel Thanks for the edit. I haven't had time to look into BibLaTeX 2 yet… but it does ease a lot of things. |

Bibliography with alphabetical order, year order but without brackets in references part Thanks for your reply. The lack of more specific information about what you already tried or looked for is probably why your question got closed (which isn't a problem in itself, since you got the answer anyway). We try to encourage questions that point to a specific problem and show what you have done in order to solve it (which is a good way to learn, as well). |

Bibliography with alphabetical order, year order but without brackets in references part Could you tell us more about what packages you are using? Anything like biblatex? Perhaps you could give us a MWE of what you have (TeX file and bibliography file), otherwise it will be difficult to help you. |

Use cleanthesis theme: french accent problem on MacOS X I second @ralfix's suggestion. French and utf8 go well together (though your document and bibliography files must also be utf-8 encoded). If it does not work, could you try without the cleanthesis package and see if it changes anything? Try using just the book, article, report or memoir class, and tell us if it changes anything (so we can know if it is an editor/encoding or a cleanthesis problem). |

\parencite in footnote: where to put the full stop? It all depends on which set of typographic rules you stick to. Are you writing British or American English? Brits generally do not put full-stops marks inside the quotation, so the first option would apply. Americans put punctuation marks within the quotation, so perhaps the second option would work in US English. What would seem faulty to me is to use double punctuation marks (e.g. end of quotation, if you are quoting a full sentence, and end of footnote). |

Calligraphy question @Tobi Have you looked at the Zapfino font (it is demoed in fontspec's documentation)? Though it is unlikely, it would be possible to create a font with that many variations (Zapfino has 7 or so). They are defined as unicode ligatures, but you can select/switch them by hand if you want. |

Calligraphy question As a matter of interest, if you have the name of the font, could you please share it with us? It looks gorgeous! |
