Hi Thomas. Hypatia Sans seems to be a character strong typeface and I wonder with what fonts it good be well combined. Do you have some suggestions? Thanks a lot.

[I like to use it with humanist and transitional serif faces. I've liked it with Minion, Arno, and Janson. — T]

Hello Thomas, thank you for these nice fonts and all the different style options!

I wonder with what Serif or Sans Serif Fonts Hypatia is compatible? I couldn’t find any hint in the internet and the “Great Book of Font Combinations” does not include Hypatia.

Since I am no typo profi, I would like to ask for you suggestion / opinion with what fonts Hypatia Sans could be well combined.

Thanks a lot,
Tenzin

With such deep language support within Hypatia, what would be the most efficient way in a layout program, to access and make sure when using romanized Japanese, for proper names as an example, to express the macrons over only certain vowels? Do you recommend I go into the opentype option in the Character panel?And from there, setup a Character Style? Is there a simpler more direct way of inputting those special characters? This is for a museum publication on the Japanese Mingei roots of Hello Kitty. Seriously! [Characters with accents on them are different characters; that’s not something you can change with a style setting, at least not with a properly constructed font. You can use an appropriate character selection mechanism such as CharMap on Windows, or switch your OS keyboard settings to a keyboard that allows direct input of those characters. Elizabeth Pyatt at Penn State has some great detailed advice. - T]

Hello Thomas,

very nice work. Congratulations!

The italics have the uppercase ß (unicode 1E9E) wich is not included in the romans delivered as a registration incentive with CS3. Is there any possibility to get an upgrade for the romans?

Best wishes,
Thomas
