The Usefulness of Elephant Font

I've figured how to rewrite really troublesome chapters - all the stuff that's not working I put in Elephant font, which is heavy and pretty ugly, and almost impossible to read when you have large blocks of it, because it's so dense.

So the old passages are there to refer to, but I'm not tempted to keep trying to rework them - I just write fresh copy, and move up the few bits that do work. And switch them back to Palatino.

You folks who write in Courier, don't know how you do it. I couldn't stand Courier when it was on a typewriter - I'd always opt for Elite instead of Pica, because it was sleeker (12 characters per inch versus 10).
