Don't have that font installed, so I can't see it myself, but I have no reason to doubt Bonnie.

Guess I remembered wrong!



Yes, that was the same assumption I made. The naming of the font in question was a triumph of marketing over logic, however--and probably over the designer's pleadings, as well.
