Jon, I think you said that the Zapf Elliptical font was available for free download. Would it be possible to add this to our site? Or at least link to the site it can be downloaded from? That way, we could simply default to Souvenir for anyone who does not want to download the new font. 

I've done a brief check and from what I can tell, Zapf Elliptical 711 is a 
commercial font costing $100.  I'd be wary about making use of this font unless 
we've obtained permission.

Hmm, no, we don't want to link copyrighted material. I wonder where I got that notion from, then . . . ?

I dug out the old E-mail from Jon (15/08/2005). He wrote: "I've procured a copy of Zapf Elliptical that purports to be free for
non-commercial use." We would need to look into any licensing regarding this free font, but if this is true, we would likely be OK using it. Jon, do you remember anything about this?

Oh, I like those! They're obviously digital, and completely legible . I
would certainly prefer those in the book that a plain, boring table.
IMHO #6 is the best layout, FWIW.

#6 is also my favourite. One thing of note is that the puzzles in the remaining books all use graphics rather than text, and these graphics also have a small representation of "buttons" which would be used to manipulate the entered number, perhaps it's worth adding these to the finished graphic?

I'm not wholly sure where the button could be added without making the image look unbalanced. I think they are fine as they are, but if you can work out a way of integrating this button, it might be interesting. On the topic of graphics, is the discussion on small illustration placements complete? I think you've probably added them all to relevant locations, so unless Jon says otherwise, they can also be marked done.

You've probably already fixed these, but just for the sake of completeness: (er) 01hh 1, 65, 73, 74, 100, 158, 242, 248, 295, 325: C.B. -> CB
