I just say font, it's faster than saying hand lettering. It saves 10 hits. :P

and you waste the other 77 on explaining that. ;p

In fact, many known letterers now use computer-generated fonts that resemble their hand-lettering.

My friend made a program for his news letters he sends out for his cafe. Each letter has multiply versions of itself. For example, the A has three different images. One of the images is tilted a bit, another isn't and the last one is really titled. This makes it look like it's hand written mainly because it's random and not the same. He's got a masters in computer science and yet he decided to open a cafe'. I don't get it. It has wi-fi though...

Luckily, I still have my faithful Pixelation Zoom, so it doesn't bother me. One of my favorite pieces of software!
Explain!
I'm hoping you have some magic solution that will let me keep FF3 and have clean zooming.
Heh. It's a piece of software that... someone.. wrote. Hold on...
BlackEye wrote it. Many ages ago. Before the first Pixelation zoom script was born! It's a little exe that opens up a tiny window that views what's over the mouse with an adjustable degree of non-filtered magnification. It's not as smooth and easy as, say, clicking to zoom. And the window is actually quite small. But that doesn't bother me one bit. The fact that I can use it anywhere, just like I have been since I first downloaded it whenever, and not just in a browser or a specific site, makes it worth it. And that its name is actually PixelationZoom.

Hey you! Here's another strike! Next time you ask a question, be sure to be actually interested in the answer! I can read your mind!

Uhh, the non-beta Firefox 3 came out like more than two months ago, dude. That's when we all started complaining about it.

Err, well I should have said a new update came out. My FF2 popped up and asked me if I wanted to download it.
