It seems that literally every DVD case has a fair amount of text, especially 
that which lists producers, directors, and actors, in a very fine stroke tall 
and narrow font that is virtually unreadable. It is though they don't want 
you to read that text. I'm curious as to why this is so. Perhaps someone who 
knows can explain!
