Re: Apple Corporate Font!

They changed the menu bar font on MacOS 8 to something else, can't
think of the name right now, but it's different. quite legable on
today's hardware and not so dorky looking. Chicago was specifically
designed to be legable and not take two many pixels on a (get this)
512 x 300 Mac classic (I think it was that high, I'm sure of the
width). The window fonts have changed as well.
