| #13 For a nice contrast, just use courier or garamond. They are serif and different from the usual. |

| #12 You need to go with a serif font. San serif fonts should only be used for headlines. While things are being tweaked, a great value would be a quote button for others' posts, so I don't have to cut and paste to put my post in context. |

| #11 If #6 is 11-point, Fred, I think 12 would be perfect. #6 is readable, but still a little small. |

| #10 I find the various script fonts to disrupt my train of thought. Maybe the computer-generated text fonts needs to be different instead? (I don't know if it's useful, but maybe a selection from Blambot Fonts, some of which are free? |

| #9 I like the Walter font, but then I'm used to reading blueprints |

| #8 Maybe a "big/medium/small font" button? |

| #6 14-point's overwhelming. I bumped it to 11-point, which is more readable, I think... |

| #5 Try the 14 point, Fred. |

| #4 I'm still experimenting with fonts. I'm looking for some that aren't routine, but that are readable. I went with the Walter Turncoat because it's a mechanical drawing kind of font, which is supposed to be real readable... I know there are more readable fonts out there, but I do need something to distinguish the computer-generated babble from actual comments that I've thought out. I was thinking the 'Alex Brush' font would be appropriate for TW's comments, but you can't really read it until it's 18 point... ...and maybe something a little more Western for Sherry... ...and maybe something managerial for lotp, in blue or blue-black ink... But I do need something that won't distract from the comment's content... Maybe I should try increasing Walter's font size to 14 point? |

| #3 I knew 3dc was good at computers (& could have made a font) but didn't know he was a traitor. |

| #2 I'm not sure about this new "Walter Turncoat" font. I find it quite hard to read. |
