Hi :)
+1
Actually i suspect most people here are more familiar with handling font 
problems than i am.  I was quite chuffed with myself for quickly giving up on 
trying to match their font and going my own route.  Even better when i found 
that people liked it.  

It just looked like you guys were working too hard at being perfect when a 
cheating way might have been "good enough".  
Regards from
Tom :)
