Look on the bright side: he could have insisted on Comic Sans!

That's been around for a while. I remember working on an IBM
instantiation of that a decade ago. Just never really made it to the
public.
And of course there are things coming out where you (for example) feed
it an image and it tells you where the image was taken, by matching it
against millions of Flickr images and such.

Check your feather pillows for holes

Hey, it's not my company letterhead. Personally, I wouldn't use comic
sans unless I was running some sort of party/gag shop.

Did it at least make it to the web somewhere?

That sounds cool... for Flickr. I think it would be nice to have one
available which encompasses the entire 'net. Even something that
wouldn't take anything larger than, say, 50x50 pixels or something.

Hey Jim, thanks for that! While not cost-effect for this project (I'm
not getting paid), it would be nice to make my own custom font for
personal use. I could call it Samscript or something ;)

No problem, I ran across it while reading something on Slate (of all
places).
