I suppose that's a valid point.  I just fear (perhaps wrongly) that you're not interested in legibility so much as being standard to "victorian typography" or whatever.  I wonder if you would feel differently about the legibility of lojban if you knew it or had read it over a long period of time.  I know other oldbies might disagree with me, but I find our typography as it is now sufficiently legible and maximally elegant.

I just don't want to sacrifice elegance/long-standing-lojbanic-standards on the alter of "victorian standards" under the guise of legibility.  I see this whole thing as another form of gross malglico.

Sure, but my point was valid. If you can "enjoy" typography which is maximally illegible, as well as standard typography which you're all used to, there is surely room for an attempt at maximal legibility. :-)
