For the M I meant that the middle top plate would be in background colour.
As for reading, there should be no difficulty reading "Railtrack" on my hopper,
so it's the context in the word that matters. If a person knows what a word
should say, the brain fills in the rest. This was shown in scientific
experiments that words with letters in the wrong order were still read
correctly, so a couple of imperfectly shaped letters would be no worse than
reading handwriting!

| (...) I have added the letters you mention, and the T in your car (slightly different from mine) (URL) played a little around with the X. The M and N are great. The K and Z, partly R too are hard to read, a colleaque here could not figure it out. (...) (20 years ago, 28-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.build)
