OK, Leonard: You "outed" me... I'm a closet Graphics weenie! :)

In any case, I avoid TrueType for any graphics work. Even though TT & PS1
typefaces coexist peacefully, if you have the same typeface installed in
both formats the default usage can vary. That is why I like to "lock down"
a machine into either one or the other format.

Using each (TT & PS1) has their advantages & disadvantages. Many times
they coexist peacefully... Until you get that call from the Service Bureau!

Cheers!
Dan

PS: See my Clinton joke below!

Dear John Hinkley:

Ronnie and I are concerned about your well being. We also wanted to write
and assure you that we have no bitterness towards you. We all make mistakes
in life and you are no different. It is important that we learn from them.
Once again, we wish you good health and speedy recovery and hope to see you
as a responsible, functioning adult in a world outside of prison.

All our best,

Ronald and Nancy Reagan

PS: We both thought you would like to know that Bill Clinton is sleeping
with Jodie Foster.
