Having come up through the golden age of digital prepress, I learned early on
that either everyone working on a project that was involved in type had to have
the exact same fonts from the exact same foundries, or else risk any number of
issues. Nothing worse than getting the finished product and

Given that the font world calls eighteenth century font designs 'Modern'

LC no longer manipulates text directly to produce styles, it now uses the
equivalent font. This happens with all text styles including bold, italic,
