But hell...(sigh), don't take my word for it. I wouldn't blame you for not.

Oh I'll take your word for it...I'm only trying to move into some freelance typesetting because I just had to shutter my publishing company after 5 good years (ok 3 good years and two shitty ones) and I'm just trying to figure out what the eff to do with my life! Figure I love fonts and making books (I also write and edit), I've been doing it for my own biz, why not really dig in to the other side?

Either way, you may hold on as tightly as you like to your industry secrets.

Thanks again for all the help guys, and @Quoth I'll look into what you mentioned as well for sure! The only downfall of being self-taught in everything is that there's no one to tell you when you're doing it wrong
