As for River­glen Press, things are coming along slowly but surely. I’m decid­ing what font to use for the body text for my River­glen Clas­sics — prob­a­bly Gara­mond Pre­mier Pro or Minion Pro, I think. The main thing now is to learn enough Perl that I can process the Project Guten­berg text into some­thing more usable for InDesign… (And I don’t think it’s all that much Perl, by the way.) With the Pride and Prej­u­dice text, empha­sized text is marked by under­scores (”It’s _him!_” = “It’s him!“), and I wonder if there’s a way to turn that into some­thing InDe­sign will auto­mat­i­cally read in as ital­ics. Prob­a­bly not. But it would be nice if there were… Oh well, there aren’t enough of them to make it a huge nui­sance. (I hope. :))
