Summary description: An expansion of Edward Tufte's ET-Bembo family
Announcement text:
Based on Daniel Benjamin Miller's XETBook, which expanded Tufte's ETBook, the family name for the Bembo-like font family he commissioned for his books, etbb expands its features to add kerning tables that were missing in earler instances, and to include a full set of figure styles, small caps in all styles, superior letters and figures, inferior figures, a new capital Sharp S with small caps version, along with macros to activate these features in LaTeX. Both otf and pfb are provided. This Bembo is IMO more suitable as a book font than any other digital version.
