Choosing between them is becoming nearly impossible to me because I really like the three of them. So to make my choice, I decided to base it on technicalities.
- First question : Which one would you recommend and why?
- Second question : Which one do you believe is the most comfortable for reading when printed?
- Third question : Which one offers the the biggest amount of exploitable features when using LuaLaTex?
- Fourth question : How do I exploit all of their features (swashes, small caps, small italic caps, glyphs I can't type with the keyboard, etc.)?
I ask the fourth question because my university bought them all and they cost an arm & a leg, so I really intend to get the most out of them. For example I can't get the swashes to work (or any other feature in fact). For swashes I tried this :
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newopentypefeature{Contextuals}{NoAlternate}{-calt}
\defaultfontfeatures{Kerning=Uppercase,Mapping=tex-text,}
\setmainfont{Garamond Premier Pro}
\begin{document}
Quad Qed
\addfontfeatures{Contextuals=NoAlternate}
Quad Qed
\end{document}
But the swash does not work. I also tried to set the options like this :
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Contextuals=Swash]{Garamond Premier Pro}
\begin{document}
Quad Qed
\end{document}
But then the console says this :
*************************************************
* fontspec warning: "icu-feature-not-exist-in-font"
*
* OpenType feature 'Contextuals=Swash' (+cswh) not available for font
* 'GaramondPremrPro' with script 'Latin' and language 'Default'.
*************************************************
Is there something wrong with this font? Also, my document contains a big amount of equations, do you have any advice on the math fonts?
