Jack, we will only know if that GUEST comes out. Whether or not it was so intended, that was a good parody: perfectly correct, still "comic". The long sentences are hard to read, but more significantly, their informative content is much shorter. Scholarly thoughts can be complicated enough; scholarly language should not be any more complicated than necessary.—

Fonts: yet another tragedy, this time of technology. Web pages can specify arbitrary font names such as "Irrealis lightweight condensed" - the receiving browser is likely to be dumbfounded and simply use its standard font instead. There are techniques of specifying a "font family" or alternatives, very awkward and unsafe for lack of consistent standardization. As a last resort, websites can instruct the browser to download a font file and install it temporarily - rarely worth the Internet traffic caused by it.

Most browsers allow their users (sc. those on whose computers they run) to choose a default font and size. Since Mudcat pages normally do not specify a font, that default font will be used - often "Times New Roman" 10 points.
