* [[Fraktur_fonts|Summary of experiences of three Fraktur]] (2019)
* [[Typescripts_examples]] (Cf Thomas Hala)and [[Palatino Linotype under MKIV]].
* Using Font Fallbacks (and perhaps a different page for Fallbacks for math fonts)
* Creating virtual math fonts from type 1 fonts (still needed?)
* Small caps
** [[Pseudo Small Caps]] by Vit Zyka (2011)
* [[Ligatures]] (2017)
* protrusion[[Protrusion]] (also known as hanging or font handling) is a more subtle typographic effect (2012 need update).
* old style numbers
* Kerning
Finally, for older content, refering to mkii, we keep a [[Fonts - Old Content|specific zone in the wiki]]. Work is also need to merge content of [[Fonts_in_LuaTeX]] here.
