So I guess that sigs with silly fonts are C too. As long as they are short sigs of course. Lond sigs just give the hamsters digestion. ---

Yes, **Tapioca** , long sigs are very C indeed. (If you’re using `C’ as a short form of COBOL, maybe.) ---

On my home computer, it’s probably just a matter of which fonts I have installed, but I’m pretty sure that my work computer has abundant fontage (how do you check that on a Mac?). I understand, though, that Mozilla isn’t on speaking terms with most fonts. ---

Opera 6.0 here, can’t see a thing besides big letters. Is there currently a way to browse the board without seeing webdings or wingdings without using a different browser? ---
