There was a post a long time ago about the fonts. It is in the searchable archives. As for the Mai Tai post, it was started in July and has continued to grow as a result of additional beneficial posts. . . . Multiple posts of similiar topics waste space.

To expand upon what Turbogod said, there's often a lot of great info in those older threads. To start a new thread, means that either the info previously provided must be repeated, or that info is not provided at all.

When you make use of an existing thread to make your point you're doing a service to everyone else interested in the subject too. For example, suppose I want to know more about Tiki Fonts and do a search on the subject. It'd be great if I could find all the relevant info in one place.

oh c'mon man! if you have something to add about tiki fonts i for one would love to read it but i would appreciate it if i could find all tiki font info w/out having to look all over tiki central for it.

i actually have been researching tiki fonts & find that the fewer threads the better. the info you seek is/was/will be there (wasn't this discussed already?).

Argh! This is what happens when I start making a post, and then go do something else and come back to an open reply. Somebody else makes my point, only they do it more clearly and concisely.
