Rather than resurrect semi-OT discussion in middle of old thread...

There's a serious down-side to using hi-vis ProggyFont for editing. I'm now so used to it, I forgot to switch to a 'pretty' like Arial for hard-copy, and my laser printer promptly disgorged fifty-some pages of garbage.
Okay, ProggyFont looks just-fine on-screen --For better or worse, I can see my punctuation !!-- but it scales badly and output resembles an old, wilting, 9-pin dot-matrix in bulk...
Never mind ! At least I got to proof-read that chunk of my tale. Two other sections, in Arial, look so good that my reading speed 'goes turbo' and I've no hope of spotting their infamous last typo...

Um, despite valiant efforts, I'm still suffering from my 'Curse of the MisPunctuated Dialogue'...
