If we are to follow Ken's advice, I have to say that IMHO, inertia wins and we stay with the defaults we have.

> I hate to say anything here, but it doesn't make sense to have the fonts inconsistent IMHO. The whole rationale for dropping Arial Narrow is to avoid complications with print shops and AVTS units that can't handle it. Either the database is contaminated with Arial Narrow or it is not however. Further, the advantages of Arial Narrow (squeeze more text) apply equally well to candidates and long race text.
> To be absolutely clear though: I am not saying we should drop Arial Narrow or not. I have no strong opinion on that. I am just saying dropping it for races but not candidates doesn't make a lot of sense. Certainly, I can see no advantage to doing that.
