Last weekend was Thanksgiving in Canada. I went home. My mother was contemplating which of 2 books she would teach her grade 8 class. I picked up one book, and said "Yuck, don't teach that, what an awful font! My eyes would hurt trying to read this!" My mother was surprised that I would judge a book, not by its content, or even by its cover, but by the font that was used. It had not occurred to her. This makes me wonder if we who think that font design is something important are in the minority. What do you think? Laura Creighton uw-beaver!utcsrgv!utcsstat!laura
