Since there's been discussion on the subject, some folks out there might be interested to know about a new book, called _The_Power_of_PenPoint_. It's published by Addison-Wesley (of Bruce Webster's _The_NeXT_Book_ fame), and written by Robert Carr and Dan Shaffer. So far it's a very high level book-- doesn't get nearly technical enough for even me. But it's a good read, and certainly more comprehensive than the articles I've read so far (as any whole book should be). And now, a legitimate excuse for posting: Has anyone noticed under 2.0 that the Font Panel (among others) *never* ever becomes the key window? This has caused me some confusion--like, for example, the Set button is still marked with a carriage return symbol! Set your font, hit return, and a return promptly goes *into your document*. I for one don't like this; maybe I'll bug_next about it. -- / Nik Gervae aka dejnsen@caen.engin.umich.edu | "It'll be finished next week, \ | CS/Linguistics stud. & NeRD at UM (go blow) | I promise!"--me | | | | | **When all else fails, bug someone who | "Just say an iguana chewed | \ knows (not me!). | up your textbook."--Jason Fox /

It will become the key window if you select the text in the Size field in the Font Panel, and then Return works as advertised. There are advantages to keeping the Font Panel from becoming the key window; it's a tossup. -- Glenn Reid RightBrain Software glenn@heaven.woodside.ca.us NeXT/PostScript developers ..{adobe,next}!heaven!glenn 415-851-1785 (fax 851-1470)
