Opening a WP.com account is a good idea to get started. Speak soon.<strong>Topher</strong> Yes, I've seen that. I think Trajan took over long ago :)<strong>Jodie</strong> Thank goodness someone other than me laughs. It's good to know that at least two people appreciate my humour. Let me know if your boyfriend <em>gets the message</em>, and actually buys you some type. Make sure it's one with about 10 weights, lots of ligatures, smallcaps, lining figures, old style figures, ornaments, and 30,00 kerning pairs. Don't let him get away with a single weight bargain basement $5 font--that wouldn't be true love.ps: I suggest printing out <a href="http://www.linotype.com/53159/sabonnext-family.html" target="_blank">this page</a> drawing hearts on it, and leaving copies in conspicuous places. I'm going to try it myself (Sabon Next, Platinum Edition is at the very top of my <em>I want this type<em> list). Cody

I had this hilarious mental image of my boyfriend buying me a font for Valentines day, and the absurdity of him actually doing that paired with how excited I would actually be to get a font for V-day made for a very good laugh.
