[NTLK] [OT] Grant Hutchinson: You're on Gizmodo

[Matej Horvat]

Oh, look, another "top 10" (or in this case, "top 18") article about Apple  
which just has to say something bad about Newton.

"17. Fancy

Designed for the Apple Newton, Fancy is a Times New Roman ripoff that no  
one cares about. I couldn't even find images of it."

If you can't find images of it, how can you criticize it?

It's not a "Times New Roman ripoff", it's just a renamed New York that was  
called Fancy in Newton OS 1.x (the other two fonts being "Simple" - a  
renamed Geneva - and Espy Sans). And ironically, the author then ranks New  
York (the TrueType version, which IMO _does_ look like a Times New Roman  
ripoff) as number 8.

There's also Espy Sans on number 5 with no mention of Newton, but I'm not  
sure whether it was designed specifically for it.

Casual is also not mentioned, but maybe that's a good thing, as it would  
be called a "Comic Sans ripoff".
