I grabbed that macintosh theme and took a look at Charcoal. It is a nice
font, thanks for suggesting it. I am working with a font called Fudd right
now for the text, it is sans-serif and works beautifully for what I want.
Charcoal is remotely similar. I do like Charcoal a lot though! I
experimented with the two in my font viewer.
Another thing I am concerned about is if you said you took it off of the
Mac and converted it to TTF, then does the font lose quality in the
transfer or are we left with a poorly-constructed TTF font? This can
become an issue in graphic design and word processing alike.

The text of the site will be either Verdana or Arial, haven't decided for
sure, but if all else fails, the titles will be images done in Photoshop
with Verdana.

I need to pick up a copy of that for myself :) I have worked with the
plugins before and like them a lot. However, I was not planning to use any
of the filters offered there in this site project. Its going to be kept
simple and straightforward. I know it produces really cool effects (see my
text at http://trc.osiriscomm.com ) but it is time consuming and makes new
images harder to produce exactly the same. Thanks for offering.
Keep Building!!
