While the idea is simple - the whole layout, and stats are blowing me away.

| #3 Posted on 23.1.02 0429.54 Reposted on: 23.1.09 0459.01 | Hey Robert, I'm a fan of the lines as well. One question- did you start using a more narrow font recently? The past few updates were really hard to read for me- the last SD lines, especially.

| #4 Posted on 23.1.02 1048.40 Reposted on: 23.1.09 1059.14 | I think these are awesome as well. I'm obsessed with stats as well. I run the record book at Weekly Visitor. I'm nowhere near as skilled at PDF, so I just use your basic HTML. I hope you get a chance to look at it.
My only question is that I noticed Billy Gunn had a .833 record, or 5-1 if you put it that way. Did you count losing in the Royal Rumble as a loss?

| #5 Posted on 23.1.02 1135.58 Reposted on: 23.1.09 1154.49 | Yes, I credited the Royal Rumble as a straight win-loss deal. It may seem out of place, per se, but I think that is the best way to keep track.
Yes, I am using a narrower font; it allows me to write in more as necessary without shrinking the font height. But I think I can simply alter the spacing between letters to remedy the problem.

| #12 Posted on 20.3.02 1014.22 Reposted on: 20.3.09 1020.21 | It looks more like a font issue to me.
Under acroread, check out File->Document Info->Fonts. The little dialog box says that all the fonts there are TrueType fonts with a Windows encoding.
So not only is Acrobat Reader probably a good idea, you'll also want to truss yer gear up to use TrueType fonts. Assuming you're using XFree86 4.x, this shouldn't be a problem, as there's a TrueType font server (i.e. Freetype) built right in...all you need to do is get the basic Windows fonts from a nearby Windows box (there are several ways to do this), configure them for X, add them to your fontpath, and go.
