A cruel irony occurred while running 10.6.8 on my new Mac via Target mode. I didn't have the font jaggies that I had when running 10.6.8 on my Duo or when running 10.11 on my new Quad. Can't win, right?

I'm still tweaking fonts, looking for ways to improve the system font, considering buying one except that when you buy fonts you don't get the whole family. You have to buy each member individually. Regardless, I'm inclined to think that Apple fonts will work better on the Mac than any third party font. At the moment I set Tinker Tool to Avenir Light, a change from Helvetica Neue Light. I plan to continue experimenting. The trick is to find one thin enough to avoid the jaggies but thick enough to be readable.

I don't know anything about buying fonts. Maybe someone here could advise me on that. Or on free fonts, which I find usually to be crap.
