Quark CEO Abruptly Resigns

stonydell writes "According to News.com, Quark CEO Kamar Aulakh is no longer with the company. Company spokesman Glen Turpin also said, 'We hope to find a new CEO as soon as possible. It's very important we bring in some professional outside leadership to the company.' Does Quark still have a future or is the future Adobe and Macromedia?"

If this is true (or even if it isn't), why the hell would you broadcast that to the planet? I'm sure he wants to keep this discreet. It's nobody else's business.

Maybe he wanted to announce it while he still had the balls&&&&SAD_#()%#$^^^^[STRUCK BY LIGHTENING NO CARRIER]

Christ on a cracker, I'm so glad I use TeX instead of any of these things.

This is very important to me as in some fonts certain things like an f followed by a i grave can be a problem.

So true. A female colleague of mine found out the hard way when she was demonstrating a client's cd labeling software on the big screen.

The cd label said "FINAL FANTASY", but only until she selected a bolder typeface.
