Paulo, Text appearance is a matter of small differences. Most text is black text on a white page, more or less. The art of making that text easy to read has been developed within narrow parameters for a few centuries now. Some of Knuth's papers contain interesting discussions about this. A lot depends on what you are laying out. For an invoice, it doesn't matter much. For Bruno's book, it does. Peter -- Peter B.
