It is, I believe. Search the web for inkburrow.ttf. Then you'll know for
sure. It's nice for titles, and maybe when we want to have something that
looks like handwriting, but otherwise it's of little use.

I guess keeping a copy of the rendered font might be best. It's possibly
not as perfect as rendering it each time, but it'll be still good enough,
and quite fast ;).

Haven't even noticed. Guess I'm getting used to it ... - the only solution
would be to exchange his 'i' and 'y' keys as it seems, and then the rest
of the mails would be harder to read.
