Great news! Do you have it in E-flat?

A minor.

Also C-flat

So it's theoretical. Still, I'm interested.

Also F flat and E sharp.

How about Lester Flatt?

And Earl Scruggs. They started out on WSAZ TV, in Huntington, WV, my hometown, when I was not yet to my teens. ...Jim Thompson

...and Earl Sharpp?

I saw Earl get a lifetime achievement award at the technical Grammys a couple years ago. He can still play.

My father played in a hillbilly band (and made, in his own wood shop) dulcimers up to a week before he died, November 7, 2008, at age of 90. ...Jim Thompson

=A0 =A0 ...Jim Thompson

He does it on a fast roll. Three-finger, even.

We didn't get that, but we did listen to WWVA in Wheeling, WV. And KDKA, of course.

what else you got ?

I remember them giving it a shot on petticoat junction

damn hillbillies should be kept away from music

In the RTL example PDF, it took AcroRead over a minute just to enumerate the embedded fonts in DocProps > Fonts. Are the embedded outlines a significant % of the file size?

I'd be tempted to just let Acrobat do the OCR, then remake the whole doc in a DTP app (but then that's because I have and know how to use a DTP app).

Another method is to drop a hardcopy on Google's lawn. It'll be on the web before you reach the city limits.

The synthetic fonts created by ClearScan are quite complex. It is not surprising that they need a lot of room.

Also, the OCR names are typically five characters long. "/015" instead of "b".

Supposedly they will become more compact with Acrobat 10, which is due "real soon now".

One major problem with font substitution is that fill justify becomes enormously difficult and time consuming.

The Rege Cordic morning show on KDKA would cause massive traffic jams. Nobody would drive through the Squirrel Hill tunnel during any of the skits.

In regards to this matter, yinz guys already know that. Choppam Sammich and Olde Frothingslosh Pale State Air from a mill in Sliberty. But not before the racing whippet.

"Beer", of course is pronounced "Aern"

"Olde Frothingslosh Pale Stale Ale" "Made with nice rice, hippity hops and mad, mad malts" "The foam is on the bottom"

The stuff was rebranded Iron City released around the holidays. Miss Frothingslosh was on some of the labels in a Bikini and weighed about 300 pounds...

Bigots should be kept away from computers. The longest running radio show in the world is 'The Grand Old Opry' The second oldest is the 'Earnest Tub Midnight Jamboree' that follows the Opry on Saturday nights. That is followed by 'The International Hour' which is a country music program that is produced in Greece.
