xelatex myriad pro l with apostrophe issue @Swiss12000: I am sorry to tell you but unfortunately I don't have a win7 at my disposal, so I cannot help you further. However, if you could include a MWE (that is, with a \documentclass and all) and those version informations inside the original question, then I hope you would get a better chance of getting an answer which works for you. |

Golden ratio typography in TeX @Brian: Heh, I actually tried that before posting the answer, but I realized that with the example 11bp font, 1.608 * 4.82573pt = 7.80803114pt (where 4.82573pt is the x-height aka \fontdimen5); So it's smaller than the font height, which means that the \baselineskip won't even come to effect, instead \lineskip will. |

xelatex myriad pro l with apostrophe issue @Swiss12000: That's weird. I even tried with Plain-XeTeX (with explicit "/ICU"-switch) and it works for me. What versions are you running? (I tried with TeXLive2012, Myriad Pro version 2.102, OS X 10.8.3.) |

Golden ratio typography in TeX @Brian: Well, I'd probably go as far as to say that the example presented above is sub-optimal. Note how the x-height doesn't come into play anywhere, and it should. Neither paper width/height, which also should. Also font design weight/line width should somehow be accounted for. The base measure of font-size * \phi gives IMHO too much for line height. Of course all these are stylistic decisions which might work well in some situations while not so well in others. (For example, imagine reading a 1k-page book set in the above style) |

xelatex myriad pro l with apostrophe issue @Swiss12000: Sure, updated to include example. If I've understood correctly, the ICU engine will be replaced in TL2013 so this would not be needed then. |

Golden ratio typography in TeX So… every variable's definition is dependant on eachother? I don't think you can do that with TeX. There must be thousands of studies regarding "optimal" line widths, some of the more absurd (~100cpl) seem to be ham-fisted with no mention of line height, for example. My source for "optimal" 66cpl is Robert Bringhurst's The Elements of Typographic Style. But like the formula in your question, everything affects everything. |

Golden ratio typography in TeX Line width ( \hsize) can be set 1.5*alphabet size in em or 2*font size in picas. Or, those are one way… ~66 chars per line optimal |

homemade glyph in lualatex (Lua/Xe/pdf)(La)TeX are not font design programs, you may want to look at programs like FontForge. |
