Chapters in a book traditionally start on a new page, usually a recto page. Sections instead do not start on a new page.

I can think of some situations, though, where starting each new section on a new page would not be a terrible idea. For instance scientific books or manuals, where it may be useful to quickly locate and emphasize the bundles of information that are organized into a section. Such an idea might also be useful in a book draft, where changing a section may have disruptive pagination effects (e.g. with floats) on subsequent sections.

Do you know of any examples of books that adopt such a practice? Or do you have any insights to share on such an idea?

For years I've been using DejaVu fonts, but in the last years I had the feeling that this project had been abandoned. And indeed it has.

Does anyone know of good open-source alternatives?

I've heard of GNU Unifont, which seems still alive, but it isn't the kind of font one would use for, say, slides or websites.

Liberation and Kurinto were interesting (though not au par with DejaVu, in my opinion), but seem to have been abandoned as well.

I'm tired of Google and personally am not interested in fonts commissioned by them.
