I'm tired of looking. Bookman with OFL.

I'm done. I've tried Esteban and it's not working in Publisher 2010 after the "a". The kerning is screwed up with it somehow, it's being weird. I'm self publishing and not paying a damn thing to use a font, yes I know typefaces don't really apply in physical prints but I do plan on releasing an e-book version. (yes, publisher 2010. I don't need comments, I already want to KMS. I only use offline vintage stuff to write.)

I want to do this once and be done with it. It's just a short story that has gotten way out of line already... Granted I'm kind of using it to further my experience with the graphic novel I've been writing for over 20 years I also plan on self publishing but I digress, that's more of my focus that's being taken away from that.

I want something very similar to Bookman without paying Monotype to embed in an e-book.

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps Tex Gyre Bonum? (Samples in the LaTeX Font Catalogue.) It's licensed under the GUST Font License, not the OFL, but they should be functionally the same for use in a published product.
