Thanks, Jonathan, No, I haven't met Joe Clark, but I like him. What he writes confirms the very first impressions I had: one, they used very low quality jpg to show the font in the web page (wow!); two, I was immediately shocked by the cap B for some reason, and by the weight/letting ratio. All in all those people didn't know what they were doing, under a "scientific" cover. Joe Clark is absolutely right in his heavy criticism. Cheers, Domenico
