Typography for Lawyers

An interesting website. Style matters, too.

I disagree with the rule that there should only be one space between sentences. But, it comes from an interesting point -- the "two space" rule is obsolete b/c it stems from old-school typewriters, so now there's no need for two spaces. Relatedly, this is one reason I prefer the Georgia font to TNR (Times New Roman), because the Georgia periods are larger. Apparently, the TNR periods are so small b/c in the old days, the newspaper ink would expand, so the periods were designed overly small. Now, they're too small b/c obviously, computer screens don't involve expanding ink.
