- It might be worth pointing out that there is an alternative to representing
- keycaps as boxed words. There are fonts which represent the keycaps of a
- standard keyboard. Of course, you'd have to find, buy, and install one.
- The nicest looking one I know off the top of my head is a bitmapped font
- for HP LaserJets, from SoftCraft - not much use in this context. It includes
- a shadowed keyshape around the characters.
