Thumbs up Techno for now, but not forever

Hey guys....

I'm no developer, but, yes, I had enough time to think this thing through to come up with my workaround (not a solution).

Since no developer can second guess what fonts a user may have installed (and the ensuing spacing that goes along with the fonts), the safest bet is to go with a system font, since everyone has it.

Originally, Chiago was the only Large System Font for Macintosh. Now, there's a choice of about six. That may have come with System 9.x but I won't swear to that.

The other thing I wanted to mention is that once you switch to Techno, set your favourite Options settings in LW, you can still switch back to whatever Large System Font you like (until you want to change Options again).

I certainly wouldn't use anything as ugly as Techno for day-to-day work.

Then again, I guess it's a personal preference thing.

As I mentioned earlier, if the developers can scale the Options box size up to accomodate the widest Large System Font, everyone should be happy.
