My Preferred Hyperref Setup

\hypersetup{
    hidelinks,
    pdfpagemode={UseOutlines},
    pdfpagelayout={TwoPageRight},

    pdfauthor={⟨You⟩}
    % ⟨other metadata⟩
}

My Favorite Fonts

• pagella-otf
• schola-otf
• termes-otf — always nice if you need TNR
• CharisSIL — Similar to Lucida Bright. I have taken to using fontspec and the official SIL file, but I cannot remember why.
• libertinus
