I *hate* numbers with ascenders and descenders. It's just an instant, visceral "ugh." They may be more legible (though I don't know if there's data on this -- people often use "legible" as shorthand for "what I like"), but I think they look ugly as sin.
Comrie claimed that his opinion was confirmed by those of the people doing the proof-checking for the publication: a mind-boggling task, comparing about half a million numbers with the hand-written calculations, so there was a lot of combined experience. However, I suspect that the tables were produced before operational research was invented, so I don't suppose there were double-blind comparisons with a control group. -- Ken Moore _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
