All true.
Oh my eyes!
I remember when people doing clubs, societies, parent-teacher, scouts, churches etc 1st got Windows and loads of fonts and Inkjet printers.
Ghastly posters and newsletters, sometimes not just a different font on each line, but multiple fonts per line. I know six year olds with more sense!
Sometimes even big publishers are too experimental. Magpie Murders ©2016 Anthony Horowitz. Orion Books / Hachette. Maybe half the book is set in a monospace typewriter like font. That kind of thing was dead for a MSS maybe 20+ years earlier and we don't need that font to know that part of the book is a book inside the book (and real facsimile of old stle MSS was double line spaced anyway). I bought it only a couple years ago or last year and couldn't bear to read that, so bought the ebook!
I thought, well, I can fix that. But the ebook was conventionally formatted.
Stiil, I think I like the Alex Rider and Diamond Bros. series better!
