Ahh, thaks for this remark.

(Only too) often we completely forget to take in consideration the fact 
that every person is unique, and that from this (by the very 
definition), follows that we _ALL_ have to have _unique_ demands on the 
font. (As well as, actually, _all_ the other things or aspects we ever 
do evaluate or make demands of.)

So, for example, one specific kind of need-of-prescription-glasses may 
make it imperative to have the font have characters as unique as 
possible _in_ the nort-east/south-west direction, and some other person 
possibly just in nort/south.

"What's the _best_ programming language??" That's something I hear daily 
in some discussion groups where there are a lot of teen-agers. The 
groups inhabited by over-30 folks never see this question.

But, to revert to the original issue, I think we (actually Walter) 
_have_the_right_ to *expect* from the programmer that he is able to find 
a non-ambiguous font -- all on his own.

If he can't do that, then it's like giving 747 piloting lessons to a 
gorilla. (I.e., sure, given enough time.... and all that crap. But 
seriously, who'd ever want to be the passenger!!!)
