Neil -
As usual, you're right. I just tried to create the text as
posted by applying a faux bold (using, excuse the expression, MS Word)
to some of the characters, modifying the letterspacing, and then
condensing the result, but there were still significant differences,
particularly in the shape of the top of the T, which is very concave
in the posted example and flat in Beaumarchais, and the clarity of the
serifs - good in the example, poor in Beaumarchais.
