Hiragino Mincho / Serif font

Hi, I use my MB Pro for writing, and I'm looking for a serif font similuar to Hiragino Mincho Pro, which is included in OS X. The problem with Hiragino is that it doesn't include neither bold nor inherit. Does anyone have an idea of a good alternate? Times new roman is not an option.

Pardon my English; Swedish is my mother tongue.

Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Lad for pokker være med at undskylde, at du til daglig taler svensk. Du er flersproget og flersporet, og det er sgu bedre end at være smalsporet og enkeltsproget -:).

Mincho is as a serif whose style is based on the woodcut style of imperial China. In typographic terms, try a Fournier style transitional such as Hoefler that is not condensed and is intended for books instead of Times that is intended for periodicals. If you are willing to pay, then try a Garalde with a clear cut such as Adobe Garamond Premier.

HH, det är helt korrekt stavat på sv enska. 😉

The spelling is ok, but what about the grammar? I thought the generic third person plural pronoun was written "dom". If someone chooses to use "de" and "dem", the usage would depend on the context and "dem" is only used as object. Or did that change, when I was not looking?

I am not the grammar expert. I once learnt to write "dem" but when I talk i use "dom".

"De" would be correct, grammatically wise, but since it is such a common mistake I find it ridicously unnecessary to point it out in a discussion like this.

I agree. We are far off topic. I thought it looked funny in the context, but my comment fell very flat.

On to other more interesting issues...
