My aerial photography pilot dropped by just an hour ago, and he also 
raved about the "Helvetica" program. I had just showed him the latest 
Eureka High School NJROTC monthly newsletter --

-- on which I am the volunteer advisor. After seeing "Helvetica", he 
had all kinds of typesetting suggestions! So Phil, I am at least one 
other person with the "font-fotography" connection!
