Objection!
I have a year's worth of training of customers who have been trained to use the default font for candidate name text, many of whom use four column ballots. But, I'm a flexible guy, I'm willing to compromise. Can we set one default for races and headers (Arial) and another for candidates and endorsements (Arial Narrow)?
You know I'm doing this just to torment you, Ken.

> I am of two minds on this. I think using Arial Narrow has sometimes caused grief when generating postscript for some print shops. It is not a standard font. For this reason alone changing it to the standard Arial is probably a good idea.
> It is a really great font to use for candidate names though. You get away without wrapped candidate text a lot more with this font. Changing to narrow after you discover you have one annoying candidate name is a big pain with GEMS also.
> I'll change it if there are no objections, but then people using 4 column artwork should be made aware of the change. Be prepared to change it back to narrow to handle names that encode a candidate's entire family history.
