[BULK] Re: lil pointy things

[Mike Matis]

I hate fonts.  No one heard of font problems when everyone had Hot  
Lead.  I think everyone should ban together and offer three fonts.
Times
Times Bold
Times Italic

Or better yet Courier because just about everything will default to  
Courier if it has problems.
