        @aral That's why I create my presentations in InDesign and present using PDFs. I really dislike how Keynote handles spacing and kerning.

        @BaldCondensed Yes, it’s not ideal, is it? :) However, I am nothing without my presenter display. Looking forward to seeing you in Faenza :)

        @aral PDF is not ideal neither, but at least I don't spend ages getting the typography right. No flaming crossfades nor twirls though. ;-)

        @aral I had a deliberately bad kerned slide at a typography conference. It was funny to hear all the audience gasp in shock at it :-)
