So just last night, I was reading up on 'font-size'adjust' (3.7)  and stumbled into the following bit of prose:  "It does this by adjusting the font-size so that the x-height is the same irregardless of the font used."  Horrified, I searched the document and discovered it AGAIN in the  description of 'unicode-range' (4.5):  "Code points outside of the defined unicode-range are ignored, irregardless of whether the font contains a glyph for that code point or not."  I believe both instances should be changed to "regardless", because  that's an actual word.  "irrespective" would also be an acceptable  substitute, though in my opinion just barely.  See  <http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/irregardless> for more information, if  that's really necessary. Also, never tell me who did this, because if I find out I'll be  honor-bound to follow through on my public statement and slap them  like a haddock.  (Yes, "like", not "with".)  --  Eric A.

In 1529, Geoffroy Tory published Champ Fleury: The Art and Science of the Proportion of the Attic or Ancient Roman Letters, According to the Human Body and Face. This three book set covers subjects ranging from French pronunciation guidelines to instructions on grid-based construction of the Latin alphabet. The third book closes with thirteen alphabets designed by Tory, including one called Lettres Fantastiques which uses illustrated hand tools to define the letterforms.
