    It was comic sans before the font changeover, right?

    Seems so.

For the "Julio Scoundrél" story in SSaDT, I experimented with a sentence-case font from Blambot Foundry that I didn't have access to when OOTS began, and I really liked it (though it really needed the organic speech balloons I used there to make it feel right). At this point, even though I have more attractive font options available, I'm probably going to stick with Comic Sans to the end now. It'll just be confusing to switch in the middle.
    The date puts it around 802; The font change itself was ultimately a result of the Giant's computer dying.
