People--is there some reason we're still discussing this? WHY? I realize that here in the ePUB forum, we can all get a bit bored, but...sheesh.
She's going to do what she's going to do, that's
obvious. If she ends up spending half her time dealing with annoyed magazine buyers--it's not our problem and it's
certainly not our fault.
Why are we sitting here, on a thread ironically named "font best practices" when she clearly couldn't give a rat's ass about the, what, twenty-thousand-plus books' worth of experiences from this group, instead arguing, repeatedly, with all of us about why what she wants, what
she thinks
SHOULD BE the case, is what's "best?"
She thinks that "font best practices" means "what I think the world
ought to be," while we all think it's "what is." Why on EARTH are we still even in this thread? God knows,
I have better things to do.
Having invested at least half of my life in providing unpaid tech support for my customers over the last decade, I know
all too well what it means to have users that buy something or want something and how they ALL, repeat,
ALL, expect it to a) be instantly immediately intuitive to use and b) work, period. If her magazine sells and she sticks with things like abbr, using Calibre to test ePUBs instead of ADE, etc., she too will find out the joy of unpaid tech support.
I know that Jon will keep arguing, 'cuz, Jon. But for the rest of us, why are we wasting our breath?
