Any variance from that invites incompatibilities. That may be simplistic, but it works every time. Where I have more weights than that I group them into sets of four, then name the families differently, as in "Gentium Basic" and "Gentium Basic Book".</div><div><br></div><div>Victor</div><div><br></div></body></html>
