[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1265877, member: 27043"]Great high res picture, Kasia. This one's got me. If it were PMD, I'd expect the dropped G to be incused...but the image, even when blown up and enhanced, makes it look raised. Can you confirm this? I'm not convinced it's a strike error however either...the dropped G appears to be a different font. Take a look. First G is the "normal" G from "GOD", second is the 'dropped" G, rotated. Both have been doubled in size, and had the contrast and brightness adjusted to increase visibility of the details of the font. [CENTER] [ATTACH]137568.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]137569.vB[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] [LEFT]First G has no serif on the "upward" leg, coming up from bottom...second (dropped) G does, as you see the leg pointing to the left, toward the interior of the G. Also, the "tail" at the top, coming down pointing at the upward leg, appears longer on the dropped G than on the "normal" one. Going to follow the diagnostics on this one closely. :)[/LEFT][/QUOTE]
