So I'm not going to tell him about this book or your review and can hide it under the Christmas tree. It's so hard to surprise him with things sometimes but this is PERFECT! I confess, I never much paid attention to fonts but being married to Jonathan has made me Aware. He is forever commenting/criticizing and offering his opinion on people's font selections. :D This is awesome!!!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051826042602269061.post-62087807391642331462012-10-15T10:57:54.422-07:002012-10-15T10:57:54.422-07:00Oops.

The poster feature was incredibly useful and very easy to use.<br /><br />I use Palatino Linotype for my letters here at work. It's a nice compromise between Times New Roman and Garamond, I think.<br /><br />And to be both picky and nerdy :) The correct sentence uses "jumps" not jumped - otherwise there's no "s" Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685777538999248205noreply@blogger.com
