I was just confused i guess.. I have the complete package, but i've had it for years and it didnt come with the alternates.. Now I just bought the alternates and wouldn't you know, they aren't the right size! Apparently different type foundries released it back then than they do now, and we have found that there is a 2pt size difference in the two different versions.. So now i have these stupid alternates that are smaller than the rest of the package that I have. So when I type at 14pt the alternates are smaller Thats so weird. I was just confused i guess..
