Hi, Currently we are using QuestyCaptcha w/ ConfirmEdit. This is definitely supposed to be safer than bitmap images unless the images become so complex that even humans get it wrong, which has happened for me on various sites and is the most annoying thing in, like, ever! I do not mind adding new questions and/or replacing all of them, but it is a bad idea to send the new ones to the mailing list, since somehow a spamnet seems to have found the answers and I doubt that they actually went to the trouble of looking up the answers on pragma-ade.com (but then again, weirder stuff has happened). For now, I will quickly invent some of my own questions.

Hi Keith, if you look at the books of decent publishers, you will see that most of them still use ligatures (most American university presses, Oxford and Cambridge, German publishers such as Reclam etc.) However, many smaller publishers don't give a rat's ass about esthetics, and that's where Word comes into play: they have their authors deliver their manuscripts as Word files and simply typeset from that, more often than not by employing some underpaid and untrained contractors in India. Cuts costs and makes authors do all the work that publishers used to do in the olden days... Taking this as the norm is not a good idea. As to LaTeX: you're wrong, LaTeX is part of the TeX family as is ConTeXt and has ligatures. If you set up your fonts correctly in XeLaTeX, you get them.
