At this point choose your favorite font. Now do again and go to that same place in the menus where you just chose your favorite font. Notice that even though we just chose it in step 1, there is no helpful checkmark left sitting there showing that it is the current font in effect. Nope, it's just like an elevator where yes, the buttons all work, but there is no light inside to show you what current floor your are on. Perhaps even from the first tiny menu seen upon hitting we could be shown checkmarks, or pushed-in item shadows. Or maybe, as fonts are like a mystery to me, maybe the primary/secondary font concept or whatever escaped my brain and never mind.
