Zapf said he felt nobody had ever created a decent digital rendering of
Optima and would only order it from hot metal typehouses when he used it.
Guess that puts us cold type people in our place.

p.s. I'm just putting together a letter to Lino about all sorts of type
irregularities in their CORA fonts. One problem with all this new
technology, is that all the manufacturers are rushing out their libraries
without always taking the time to do it right. Just had a job bounce
because a customer was unhappy about a flat spot in the bowl of a
lower-case "e" in Rockwell. On a scale of world crisises, I know that falls
a bit down the list, but it's annoying none the less.
