Thank you.

A beautiful font.

Libertine (of Wikipedia fame) was linked to above, but if you like those kinds of flared hybrid fonts you might like Biolinium, also from the Libertine project, or Optima, free with every Mac. They are low-key and very clean, but have that subtle quasi-serif feel to them. I like these kinds of font...

Regarding serif vs sans serif debate for online use. This series of comments on an Adobe forum covers both sides but the conclusions is that now with higher resolution screens the choice is up to the author. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2287559 A relavant point made on that thread: "Almost a...

For titles and headings a sans serif font like Albertus, Friz-Quadrata or Alberta extra light. These are actually flared fonts and not strictly san serif.

For body text I currently use Baskerville, Palatino and Latin Modern Roman.

Here is another typography site http://webtypography.net

But really, if you export to .rtf and then import to Word at the end, all goes well. I do suggest you have a style called "heading one" for instance that is green, and one called "heading two" that is blue, and "block-quote" that is red, or whatever styles you use in w...

In Biblio > Formats Manager... — isn't Chicago 16th A the one? Seems there are more http://www.citethisforme.com/guides/chicago-note-bibliography/how-to-cite-a-book What I did is make a new format based on Chicago 16th A and just deleted the unnecessary items. Seems to work so far. Now if I can onl...

Well, the bookends manual is > 400pages so reading it for a quick solution may not always be, um, quick! :P ;-) The Bookends forum is fairly efficient (but low traffic), and Jon often replies within a day. It was the 58 page tutorial, considerably smaller. It works but it doesn't have the Citation ...

Installed Bookends. Created a test page with dummy text to place footnotes in. Command Y worked in both programs. I was able to compile it with Scrivener (wrong font came out but that is different problem), and Bookends scanned it quickely but there is absolutely no difference between the original ...

I would prefer to be writing than tracking down software bugs. :evil: Honestly: don't use Zotero. You get what you pay for, and Zotero is free/open source[1]. I do use Zotero to maintain a shared reference list with one collaborator, but it is painful to use compared to Bookends. Bookends was relea...

Indeed commercial tools like Scrivener comes with ample warnings about what it can and cannot do. So all software comes with limitations. But it is the case that when something doesn't work right in Bookends or Scrivener, I bug Jon or Keith, and they will fix it or tell me of an alternative route t...

I feel exactly the same way. I want to write, just not write code.

I'm going to sidestep the whole "you get what you pay for" claim about open-source software and just point out that there are plenty of reasons besides price why someone might go with open source and be very happy with that choice (Pandoc, anyone?). On the other hand, it's also true that ...

I previously wrote: To answer your last question. I am not a student. I'm an independent researcher. I paid someone to scan in my whole library (it took almost 7 years scanning 8hr/day, 6 days/week) that I collected over a 40+ year period. If anyone has a few/many books they would like to scan and t...

True. I missed the date. Springer acquired Papers in 2013 and Readcube got it from Springer in 2016. And they are working on a new version. http://support.mekentosj.com/discussions/questions/141253-what-is-the-future-for-papers3 I haven't tried Papers yet. Will test drive BookEnds first. But I did ...
