[geocentrism] Re: JA's 3D diagram

Dear Allen,
One of the curses from the emergence of computers and DTP software was the 
dumbing down of typography. Where once people used professionals for their 
graphic design work, DTP allowed the office secretary to do it instead. I'll 
give you a few examples. There is no need whatsoever to use underlining - this 
is a left-over from ordinary typewriters in which you only had two way to 
emphasise something; capitals or underlining. Today you can use italics, bold, 
CAPITALS, larger sizes and any combination of them all without changing the 
typeface. 

May I suggest, to all, that for the purposes of technical illustrations and 
diagrams use a non-serif type font. Choose colours carefully so they can be 
clearly seen when printed on paper - people will insist in using yellow on 
white! This is a particular problem with Paul's e-mails with his choice of pale 
colours for his responses and small typeface. The type size however may be 
dictated by the way in which individual's e-mails work.

I hope you didn't mind me saying this but it would make things much clearer.
