Re: Humor(?): Font fondlers, rejoice!--a brief rant
Anyone who thinks that technical writers can be overly fond of "font fondling"
should spend some time wrestling with a corporate brand marketing group.
Oh, my, yes. At one of my last staff jobs, I watched (painfully) as the Marketing folks spent over two hours deciding whether one minor line of text on a Data Sheet should be 8.5 or 8.7 font. No, it didn't affect pagination.
I don't know how long it took them to decide *which* font to use.
