My mind boggles at the idea of using over 200 fonts.
Would some of the "Hundred-Font-Users"" write us a list of all the fonts
that they are using. I could not even remember all 200 font names and their
appearance.
I am a new TMG reader, have not yet started using it. For me, simple
HARRY, the TMG seems far too complicated. It does not readily produce
decent output reports.
I am amazed at the great attention to minutia that the incoming messages
display. What a pity, that TMG does not have a "beginners" discussion
group, which would focus on the basics.
