I still can't believe that there are actually people MOURNING the loss of the LT *APP*, which was in fact a multitude WORSE than the fonts themselves! A GUI nightmare! And they're all boo-hoo only because they're too chicken to actually evolve beyond the(ir) Known and use Motion if the so *have to* have a goofy LiveFont somewhere. Of the 52 I know of, there's barely ONE I can see using in a small small way without passing out with shame... Ah well, a strange breed them editors (wannabe graphics people). LiveType is dead, for a good reason, good riddance. A nice (if not *great*, to a degree) idea with the worst possible execution. Too bad. It's actually the first time I've even seen LiveType outside of cheesy wedding videos and/or local car dealer commercials... thank god. *shiver* @jcburns: god, I couldn’t agree more!!!

My stomach now feels like I've downed 32 ounces of high-fructose corn syrup. Yeesh.
