The 'K' font is the same as that used on the film K series which, I suppose, is some sort of nostalgic hark back to Pentax history. But I agree it doesn't work with the 01 font. The squashed Pentax is also much the same style as on the film K series - it was squashed vertically in those cases because they had to fit Asahi above it. -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
