Hi Charles,

I'd be willing to try .2mm. Sometimes I think the .4mm looks a bit... 
clunky. As long as it's legible, it's good by me :)

I used Arch font for a design once. It looks really good -- not too 
fancy. I heard once that Schaeffer can take any fonts you send them. 
Anyone else heard of this?
