Are you implying that the content of the article is somehow wrong or objectionable?

I used to be a typesetter back in the day, using a DOS-based program to generate galleys for print production. Given how limited the options for finessing type were back then, I found this article pretty interesting/illuminating in terms of how to work with digital type for electronic media.

Of course, I couldn't read that without a comment.

To you guys, I will say this. This link contains high macabre comedy regarding how an engineer approaches typography. I need medicating urgently.
