Is the font New York available on winDoze? I agree, courier is an excellent choice for the font. We should use fonts which are standard and readily available on both platforms - helvetica is not unreadable in bold format at 12 points and up. I suppose palatino is also unavailable... what fonts are available cross platform? because, yeah, helvetica 12 standard is unreadable. WARNING: RANT FOLLOWS! Rant on vectorial drawing systems: VECTOR GRAPHIX SUCK!!! suck, i say, suck. In fact, they suck raw eggs. I _hate vectorial drawing. DO you know WHY? It is imprecise. Try to adjust a vectorial drawing by one pixel. Try. And watch me laugh ... and scream... The _only advantages of vectorial drawing are: 1) lower storage capacity - which is solved with gif and jpeg 2) easy transformation (shrink/grow) - which has also been solved, at least in 2d 3) the potential for 3d representations - which i have yet to see in a bit map format - but which i do expect to see because: a) memory is growing all the time, whether ram or hard disk storage space b) bit maps are fare more precise both in drawing and in placing. Try to draw a vectorial line exactly n-pixels from another vectorial object. Try. eahahaharharhahh!!! ps - bit maps are why the mac dominated and continues to dominate the art world (and will continue thanks to DVD and pixlar). The mac classic, despite a miniscule screen offered: sharp contrast and precision - you _know where that pixel is wysiwyg - you draw a picture in macpaint on a classix and print it and pixel by pixel, its _exactly the same. Thus, i _still own copies of MacPaint, MacPaint II, and even MacDrawPro - which by the way has some decent - and _only decent vectorial artwork. Oh, check out the addcolor bitmap color drawing tools - they are quite nice. Last reason why bitmap rules, ok: scanning. So... if we could have a drawing editor oriented towards the bitmap drawing programs listed above rather than _any vectorial system I would be much happier (though I admit vectorial works -sort of- for placing buttons and fields. It is still imprecise, i.e. one pixel realignments are simply painful).
