Of course, this only works completely with font families that have only two weights. If you have more complicated families, with "light", "book", "semi-bold", "bold" and "ultra" versions, for example, Font Harmony is unable to merge the whole thing together (because the standard Mac style variations aren't enough to describe the family). Type Reunion is pretty inexpensive "on the street" and well worth it if you have a lot of fancy fonts for designing with. -- Jim Elliott "Like a bridge he'll come between us, not a wall" elliott@veronica.cs.wisc.edu
