[ From: Julian <julzmon@mac.com> [ I didn't know Helvetica was created by a Swiss person. I'm not sure it was created by a Swiss person, but the name itself is Swiss. Swiss coins say Confederatio Helvetica, and the 'h' in the .ch domain for Switzerland refers to Helvetica. When I was in Switzerland, I asked what was written on the coins. I don't remember the full answer, but Switzerland is basically a loose confederation of independent states. I don't think I ever figured out what Helvetica means, though. Ever since then, I cannot help but think of Switzerland when choosing a font! Brian
