   Hi all
   
   I was setting some type today and noticed that the tray of garamond 14 we
   have have pieces with two different groove patterns. I can't remember if
   this is a known thing, and nothing to worry about it, or if some other type
   got mixed in by mistake.
   
   Thanks and YiLFS

Hi type
??? grooves and notches
noticers

Most of the Garamond 14pt has a single 
????nick
There is a little with three
???
where one of them lines up with and is the same diameter as the single
groove.

They seem to be the same version of Garamond.  But the only way to
really tell is to do a proof with both versions being printed.

As I emailed in January, Garamond 14pt also has some shiny new CAPS with
punctuation/spaces/quads:

   Hi ink2paperers
   
   SHINY.  To help Kate Mahoney with the wedding invites for her brother,
   I donated a sort of Garamond 14pt Caps and punctuation.
   New type is very SHINY, and you might want a look in the drawer soon.
