Well I'm not! I can't believe the inconsistency of Ohlfs in different point sizes -- it doesn't even look like the same typeface. Not to mention that it always prints in courier on the printer. Courier itself, of course, is about as far from ideally suited for screen display as you can get. I would be ecstatic to see a Line-Printer (a la HP Laserjet) or Lucida Sans Typewriter screen font for the NeXT.
