Lively discussions on the graphic arts and publishing — in print or on the web

Working in isolation as a home-based designer has its pluses and minuses, as we all know.

One of the minuses that crops up now and then is how to pronounce the names of some typefaces. We've had discussions here at different times on how to pronounce Arial, but what about Alcalde? Belwe? Imago?

Those spring to my mind. I'm sure there are others.
