So that’s why I always switch to Arial, never Courier!
I used a typewriter thru grad school. Boy, am I getting ancient! I now have a collection of over 100 fonts to play with. 🙂
I remember! That’s why I prefer Times New Roman or just about anything else!
I wrote a 75-page dissertation on a manual typewriter. That’s why I use comic san serif whenever I produce anything nowadays.
