[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!
I hate to have too much of a good thing.
Oh, absolutely agreed. Among other reasons, I taught too many years of freshman comp to be able to tolerate non-text fonts in large blocks. But I'd rather have the option of lower-case (and as much work as I do with other languages, accents are non-negotiable).
Hmm. I have issues with the question mark.
I hadn't noticed that. The tilting of the question mark is oddly non-assertive. As if it is questioning its right to question.
Not a deal breaker for me though. I still love its neurotic little self.
I've never seen alpha software before.
Toddle around that site and you still might not. They don't make it easy for you--that's the magic of alpha. You don't have to make it easy for anyone. Users are on their own.
Chocolate Box...

huh, wha?
I've written software before an called it alpha. I don't even know what it means, or if there's a definition of it.
My rule is always if it works, I don't care. If it doesn't, me find something else.
Is the Font Book software that comes with OS X not considered a basic font manager? You can preview any font installed on your system, create groups of them, check all sizes, type sample sentences...
In fact, the main thing that Orfont thing seems to have that Font Book doesn't is tags. Which, not really a necessity for me.
By the way, I'm now viewing this site in Optima, size 13. It's pretty nice.

An excellent choice.
I've broken up with fonts over their unfortunate ampersands.
Couldn't you just write the word "and?"
But then I'd have one less thing to curmudgeonate about!

I am Sox and amych at the same time. I like ampersands in certain kinds of titles and some fonts have dreadful ampersands.
