How come so many people hate this font? I love it. It's the same font as that used in the Gowers 1965 version of Fowler's "Modern English Usage." I have always had a fetishistic attraction to this font, regarding it as indicative, or even emblematic, of the 19th century look of philological tracts & Victorian-era printing.

Please leave font as is. Is it Georgia? It looks like Georgia.

See "Modern English Usage" (Oxford University Press) for an example.
