The important thing is that we are not now. Apparently, the fonts are STILL too visible. The text in the documentation needs to be even skinnier so there is no possible chance that we can read it. And it's really good that there are no PDF documents for us to keep as reference for anything that we searched for. Whomever is making these decisions at Apple should be checked in to a place where they are not allowed to declare policy to anyone again, ever. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
