On my own machine, yes, but not when I'm writing ReadMes for users in OS 8/9
who don't have Lucida Grande! (I've noticed that MS Word substitutes a
so-called "LucidaGrande" -no space - which looks exactly like its own
default - Times - and that TextEdit files saved as plaintext .txt files -
with no formatting whatsoever - convert it to Geneva. Too bad it doesn't
have some instruction to change the .rtf version to formatted Geneva instead
of that ridiculous Edwardian Script ITC SimpleText picks.)
Thanks for the shell script, Steve.
