>(BTW, Optima is not as has previosly been claimed, a sans-serif face. It is
one of a small numbre of intermediate
>faces that do not have real serifs, but whose strokes vary in thickness,
which is a feature or true serif faces.)
I find this statement rather perplexing. Doesn't "sans serif" mean, both
etymologically and conventionally, "without serif"? Zapf himself apparently
called it a "serifless roman type," and you agree, stating that it has no
serifs; doesn't that make it sans serif by definition? Are you suggesting
that there exists a category _between_ serif and sans serif typefaces?
