The New Fonts in iBooks 1.5 ⇥

Really great article by Glenn Fleishman. He points out the tall x-height of Charter, but I’ve noticed that for all of the new serif faces. Cochin and Baskerville were hopeless on screen due to their relatively small x-height, making them difficult to read on both the iPad, with its lower-resolution screen, and on the iPhone, with its dimensionally smaller display.
