It is a strange pdf, possibly because it has come from a TugBoat volume, I have found an alternative download which is less than half the size, but the same number of pages. I don't know whether you would consider the font more handsome, or whether it is a surfeit of beauty given the pdf contains 163 different fonts! Anyway, try this one:- http://luc.devroye.org/HanTheThanh-Dissertation-2000.pdf Cheers Deri
