Me again, the externally appointed arbiter of fonts    I have a new question for the community.

In the scan below what portions of the overview should be bold?

There is no bold font in this overview. There are some letters in a different color (which we ignore for DVD Profiler purposes), and certain words are in ALL-CAPS, but that's all.

I agree with T!M. I wouldn't add any bold on this one.

Yeah, looks like the same font weight as the other colored text. So no bolding.

So far pretty it is clear the majority of those who participated think there is no bold type in this overview. (Currently 22 against 5) Thanks to all who posted and voted.  I have enough info and will vote accordingly.

Since I am reading this from work and my employer blocks some sites, I can't view the image in the OP so I have no way of knowing how the text is formatted.

I don't know what filter my employer uses on sites because some images I can see and others I can't.  I can't see any "active content" and places like YouTube of Photobucket, but other sites are available to me.[/Personal Rant]

Have to agree with the others - color does not equal bold.

Oh, I see it was the OP that said color was bold, or i presume that was his conclusion since he included it in the poll. I asee some bery clear bolder characters but it has nothing to do with color, that is just coincidental.

Skip,
what I can tell from the scans provided by Rick (lyonsden5) is that the "ALL CAPS"-part differentiates in three things from the rest of the text:
1. Obviously: it's all caps
2. different font colour (currently not traced by DVDProfiler)
3. different font size (about 0.5 point larger) (currently not traced by DVDProfiler)

For all other (possible) differences I'd need the original and a fine measuring tape, but a first eyeshot (and a second somewhat deeper glance) on these scans doesn't support the idea of bold text anywhere in this overview.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
