Yes, I know what you mean.. If you think about the laws of thermal-dynamics, it's YOU against ENTROPY.. Everytime you write an ugly letter from now on.. Blame Entropy.....

and sorry okooko, I am not an owner of a fertile crescent.

I just got to "r", it's not as good as my p's but I'm getting there. :D

You guys GOTTA try an Italic Nib.. It's the shiznitz :eek:

Yes, I've been doing nothing else for the past few hours.

Nice..

I've only just realized that All the fine writing we're used to seeing on the internet, in ads, in life, are pretty much impossible with a regular pen.

Key missing element, "Line variation".. ;D

If you decide to get the 1.9mm or 1.5mm italic nib for the pen, make sure to use a "high flow" ink...

It's insular miniscule combined with some modern italic shortcuts. dyesub would be a problem because the sharp edges would only look "sharp" if you print them really big...

And that would make the keyboard look like old people keyboards.

Not likely.. but.. The pointed insular miniscule didn't have capital Greek Epsilon, I just wrote one here assuming it'd probably look like "this".

I thought the creative music thing was primarily a "pencil" endeavor..

Also, wouldn't it be easier to do that on a tablet with a stand on your piano, vs pen and paper..
