- Why 72? Just because we use that now, I see no reason why a future standard
- could not supplant it. Our printers are now commonly 300 dpi. Why not
- have 300 dpi monitors that show everything at the same level of detail as it
- is printed?

- Anybody ever compared a 72 dpi WYSIWYG image of Palatino 10 to the printed
- form? It's awful.
