Re: 10 pt vs 12 pt

[Jacque Foreman <foremangraphics -at- juno -dot- com>]

I believe if you go ahead and make it 12pt and condense it to 90 or 80
percent, you will find that 12-pt Times Roman will not look so clunky,
and you will have approximately the same "flow feeling" for the typeset
page.

Happiness, joy & laughter
