............... That stroke that looks like part of an exclamation mark means something and it is NOT a poor strike of a Roman numeral "I". .................
Dave's observation of the exclamation mark appearance (wide to narrow) of the number "1" triggered a memory of the same type of marking seen in another GDC discussion from quite a while back. Not that I am saying that the two are related - just that they physically IMO might have been done the same way (ie: the same type of tool). FP
