Post #174,017 by deSitter 9/13/04 8:41:33 PM Reply	Wow It's remarkable that the kerning is so similar - I'd say identical with some variation allowed for operation of the device. Did Microsoft just steal the algorithm, or perhaps use a well-known one? After all it's a fairly simple problem depsite its complex appearence. -drl
