killians76 Pillar of the Community United States 985 Posts	Posted 02/04/2009 11:18 pm I know this is MD but what causes it to look like the letters are bigger all the way around on the bottom character rather than just shifted in one direction? http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/...100_3793.jpg http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/...100_3794.jpg Edited by killians76 02/06/2009 12:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
