Cross words

Sir: Please give me space to support Oswald Baxter (January 27) in his protest about the type now used for Jac. It is bad enough to have to keep the Throwaway Supplement in the Observer in order to grapple with Azed. Why subject us to the additional indignity of having to use a magnifying glass for Jac? His elegant mystery needs no reinforcement by mere physical obstacles.
