@pwaring that shouldn't be times new roman… it should be "latin modern roman" https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/latinmodernroman/

@pwaring entertaining, thank you :) we have a couple of similar classes that circulate amongst students in NCL.

@Conan_Kudo @neil Argh it's clearly quite a personal thing. Also whether it's going to be printed or not. (This will, but nobody will be reading it printed). I might try some different serif fonts. I prefer *that* sans font, but I think serif might be a better choice for the final document.

Thanks both for your feedback!

@pwaring I think I'll give Palatino a try (in my next yak shave interval. I need to get back to writing :))

@pwaring palatino worked out very nice. Thanks!

@jmtd I chose serif, Pagella from tex-gyre, after obsessing about a week over the choice. 😅
