From: PV9Y@CORNELLA.BITNET ("Adam C. Engst") Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.digest Subject: TidBITS 10/01/90 - Issue 23 Date: 8 Oct 90 14:20:36 GMT Sorry about the font mixup of the previous two weeks. It turns out that SuitCase II's Font Harmony program got its hands on my fonts at one point and renumbered everything for me. At the time I was grateful, but several of you pointed out that while I had changed the font to New York, since my FOND ID# was wrong, no one else saw the change. My apologies and the New York font that is currently being used has the correct FOND # (I reinstalled from my system disks). Also in response to several requests I am now including a short sentence describing each article after the title in the index. As much as TidBITS is designed to be easy and fast and archivable, some people prefer not to download each issue if they aren't interested in the articles that week. Each to his or her own, but I suggest that you download and archive the articles anyway if you can, because I often discover that I have become interested in a topic that I wasn't interested in previously. That's when a complete archive comes in handy. For those of you who let me know that sumex-aim.stanford.edu was missing several issues (14 and 15), thanks, and I've re- submittted them.
