What does it actually do? True Typography isn't focused on inserting some weird fonts nor it is limited to the "smart quotes" thing and other simple tricks. It’s a full-featured automatic typography script that includes the following:
o Custom fonts (Cufón) with easy and clear management (more than 30 pre-installed fonts)
o Automated hyphenation*
o Smart replacing of text characters with their respective HTML entities: quotes* (“text sample”, „textbeispiel”, «пример текста»), dashes (-, –, —), ellipses (…), copyright © and trademark ™ symbols, and many others
o Handling of suffixes, fractions and math expressions (51÷3×25=425)
o Diacritics for English words (“ångström”)
o CSS styles for leading quotes, acronyms, numbers, guillemets
o Spacing control: gluing values to their units, widow protection, forced wrapping of too long URLs and email addresses
o Additional options (disabled by default):
– Opening all external links in new windows (without using the “target” tag that is not XHTML valid)
– Replacing custom patterns (only text content is parsed, tags are left untouched).
* Multiple languages are respected
And remember that details make things perfect! ;o)

This plugin is very useful, easy to install, easy to use, easy to add new fonts whenever it needs.
I encourage you to use this plugin as well.
For future development, I think the developer can add styling like textshadow, etc. Thank you for your great contribution creating this plugin.

I mainly use this plugin because of it's hyphenation capability and the fact that it converts mathematical formulas. I've been very satisfied and con only recommend it to everyone!
one suggestion for further improvment:
Sometimes the hyphenation of certain words gets messed up in German. It would be cool, if there was an easy way to "teach" the plugin how to hyphenate certain words, that would be awesome!

Thank you! If you have a bit of programming skills you can check hyphenation rules for German or any other language. All of the hyphenation files are in the lang directory. Feel free to contact us for further assistance.
I happen to come across this plugin in one of my many sojourns in the JED sea; and it could not have been more rewarding. This is a nice little addition to your armoury that brings a touch of finesse which I am not aware could be achieved in any other simpler way. And what more it comes for free coupled with excellent support.
Try it out and it would sure brighten your and your users day by a fantabulous extent.
Regards!

The new version is really good! I like how custom fonts are assigned. Good job! I can't but agree with the previous reviewers.
Many thanks to the developers! This is Web 2.0! Having such an easy-to-apply set of features in one go is a must for any Joomla! site. As a long-time Joomla! developer I couldn't be more pleased to have it on all of my sites. So many headaches cured, it's a miracle.
With the help of this plugin the recent development emphasis on multiple platforms simultaneously is lightened so much. Oh wow, I'm running out of superlatives.
I very heartily recommend this plugin not only for what it does but for the excellent support and development too. Very nice indeed.

The idea is excellent and worthy! I hope that you maintain your excellence and keep it up...

Thank you. We think this is an important part of web development and we're going to continue working on this plug-in to improve its functionality and to extend its set of features.
