@cosullivan @david_ross thanks christina. I'd forgotten to install a couple of those when I moved back to ff from palemoon last week. And I never did have the random user agent one. Good stuff! Just my font list is a dead give away.

@gemlog Jeez, mine too. I thought I went on a font download rampage but can't find the .zip files now...

@cosullivan I have a file with like 6,800 ttf fonts. I wrote a robot nearly 20 years ago for a little girl. Made her very happy! :-)

@gemlog ooh I am a recovering fontaholic... I fixate on the vintage (1880s-1930s) types @xmanmonk

@cosullivan @gemlog Having worked in print shops as a kid and doing lots of typesetting, etc., I have a lust for fonts.

@xmanmonk My parents had a home business. I developed strong opinions of serif vs. sans serif (I like serif) gemlog@mastodonten.de

@cosullivan @xmanmonk Always exceptions to everything, but the most basic rule I know is serif for body text as it is easier to read and sans-serif for headlines and titles.
The web and microsoft do not follow that advice, obviously.

@xmanmonk @cosullivan xmanmonk: ignores type setting rules. A true rebel!!

@gemlog @cosullivan I do. The biggest fight I ever had with a publisher was over fonts. I insisted on them using an open-source font that I had. I even had written permission of the designer to use it. I finally won :) The second biggest fight was over the title.

@xmanmonk @gemlog My latest obsession is trying to snare some silent film titling typefaces. I have Silentina, but there are some copyrighted, $$ licensed fonts I just don't want to pay to use in my private correspondence and files.

@cosullivan @xmanmonk Have a look through the archive I posted to you guys. With so many I'm SURE you'd find a close match.
