You could download MgOpen Cosmetica, which is another Optima rip-off. It's open source. Unless of course you need it to be in Microsoft's "standard pallette"...

Ok got it, no it's no use for document sharing. It's not a system font and it doesn't ship with Office so unlikely to be on other people's machines. Verdana over Tahoma, personal taste. And more readable if used for paragraph text, especially at smaller sizes.

I love fonts too!


Got a whole book about them - "Just My Type" by Simon Garfield. Haven't read much of it yet though .... too many books on the go at once .....


I like "Identity" which we use for some of The Goose poster headings (though we're about to change the poster design) but it has strange spacing glitches which are very annoying if you're using it in Word, and sometimes runs letters together or puts them miles apart.


In a hurry and shouldn't be on the forum at all, so can't find an example - would have to find a pdf to post.


ETA: Just realised, if you click on the Goose link the main heading on the home page is in Identity.

      Foxes, and how to get rid

      By jazzer · Posted

      I did read the comments above It's not moaning, it's stating facts. Tell you what,  you can come and clear up the near daily fox crap and see how you like dealing with it, no didn't think that would appeal to you.  Do they control rodents?  Foxes are vermin.

      Well why don't you read the posts on this thread suggesting humane ways of deterring them from your garden, and do something constructive about it, instead of moaning? As for culling - how do you think that should be done, exactly?  And yes, as said above, they control rodents. Would you rather be overrun by rats?

      It's hardly likely someone was going to kill him just because they knew about him 🙄

      Foxes, and how to get rid

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      I understand that dealing with mess in your garden is frustrating, but calling for culling & branding those who care as "idiotic" isn't just unhelpful, it's dangerously reductive. Urban foxes exist because we've steadily removed their natural habitat. They adapt, survive & yes sometimes that means scavenging in places we'd rather they didn't. But labeling them a "pest" overlooks the bigger picture, which is that they are part of our urban ecosystem & play a vital role in controlling rodent population. As someone above so accurately pointed out, dogs leave more waste on footpaths. A fox is a canine, just like dogs. So are you calling for the culling of pets too?
