One can only hope that TrueType is for client and not server.  Let's hope
we are not returning to the early days of DTP, when neophytes felt that if
one typeface was good, twelve were better (and usually in the first
paragraph).

People seem to forget that we are in the information business.  Present the
info in a forthright manner.  Let the readers format it in whatever way that
makes it easier for them to read (and hopefully comprehend).
