Did you know that there's a feature length documentary on the Helvetica fonts? But what's really cool, is font haiku:
i shot the serif

I dunno about Helvetica, but the History Channel could do one on Aldus, inventor of the Italic typeface and the pocket book, 400 years ago. Right after they finish the series on sex toys of the Huns.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
