    I'm a big fan of monospaced type faces. I haven't typed on an actual typewriter since the mid 90's, and yet, my default font on my word processor is Courier New. I prefer reading monospaced lettering. Maybe it will be popular in the 23rd century.

    For that matter, most of the computer readouts in the 24th Century shows are also monospaced.

    FWIW, the shooting script says "Aldebaron," so this graphic is in keeping with the script's spelling.

    Paper will always be around in some form. Over at cosmoquest, there is aposter who worked as a printer's devil--he saw huge paper machines.

    They may make a comeback in some form as other membranes are introduced.

    it is always good to have as many types of communication as possible.
