I'm now viewing this site in Optima, size 13. It's pretty nice.
An excellent choice.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

[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!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I've broken up with fonts over their unfortunate ampersands.
Couldn't you just write the word "and?"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
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.

This. Procter & Gamble notwithstanding (the ampersand IS part of their name), sometimes the word "and" is not what you want. And an unwieldy ampersand is so depressing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is the Font Book software that comes with OS X not considered a basic font manager?
It's definitely a step up from what Windows offers. I'm not as up to speed over on that side of the world.
This has made me grab demo font managers and install them on my work PC so I can peer at my folders of fonts I've carried with me for years. For some strange reason I've kept them on a CD reasonably nearby (and nowadays thumb drive) just in case of a font emergency--I have 1400 and growing fonts to choose from. I'll be there for you.

Fonts of wisdom. Way to keep the press out here, guys. (I mean that in a good way)

I think I may just have been converted to fontlust by Chocolate Box, although I agree that the question mark is just wonky. Up til now, I've just wanted something that wasn't Times New Roman, and haven't cared strongly about that. Now, I think I may download a font for my very first time.
And I'm not just saying this to keep out the press, although, if that's a side effect, it's a nice one.

admittedly, I am slow...
are we expecting the press? Why?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I believe Tim is punning. He is the type.
