Font of Glory

[merovingian_backup]

How many of you have used the "World Wide Web" thing?

I ask for a reason. You see, I sometimes use it, and I found a web site recently. It had the most dignified, noble font ever. It brought me to weep.

It was a serif-havin' font, a little bit like Courier or Times New Roman. But what a difference! Maybe a pixel off here, a pixel added there, but the difference was awestriking.

I don't even remember what the web site was about. It was a typical personal website. But the author did specifically ask that no one steal her special font. Hundreds asked for permission; I don't think anyone would be so crude as to steal it without permission. Standing in the face of nobility makes us nobler in our deeds, in the same way that being in a public bathroom makes us far more likely to wash our hands.

I would share the URL, but I don't think I'm worthy.

I find Ted's fallibility to be comforting. It explains why he didn't unscreen my double dactyl comment from the other week, even though I had submitted a perfectly valid well formed double dactyl. Such amateurism is more of a trademark of his clone.

You submitted a single line of dactyllic dimeter, not a full higgledy-piggledy poem. I realize the term can refer to either, which is why it was a link.

Ruthlessly!

Um, but, in any case. Fixed!

You're too good to me. Thanks for validating my meager poetic "skills."

Thanks for using the word "abacinate" when others might balk!

Clearly my font-knowin' skills haven't rubbed off on you.
