Font Issues
 Times vs Times Roman vs Times New RomanPSMT – different names on
different platforms
 The templates state specific font names, but in Word it is difficult for
authors to control what fonts are installed and, therefore, what fonts are
available to them
 Do we need to worry about specific fonts any longer?

U.S. English vs British English
 Of course there are spelling differences between U.S. and British English.
Although I didn’t see any of these differences in the templates, we ignore
these in the actual papers.
 During the last round of template updates, we noted a punctuation
inconsistency between the two versions of English in the references:
–
The Brits punctuate it (as in the A4 templates):
“Paper Title”, November 2005.
–
While us Yanks write it (as in the US Letter templates):
“Paper Title,” November 2005.
 Is this a problem? Or can we ignore it as we do the different spellings?
 We already have A4 and US Letter templates, which are essentially
equivalent to British and American versions.
