More random mumblings

The "standard" ACM conference style file is one of the most

god-awfully ugly designs I have ever seen. Those who know me know that

I like to obsess over nice fonts, and the clunky square font stylings

that I am often forced to use just depress me.

On the other hand, SIGGRAPH (the graphics SIG of ACM) has an excellent

style file, which often shows up in computational geometry

proceeedings. I guess it's no surprise that the graphics folks are

more sensitive to the layout and presentation of a paper.

Obviously, these are subjective judgements. So judge for yourself:

* SIGGRAPH-style example PDF file.

* ACM Proceedings-style example PDF file. (this is the "alternate"

style; the standard one has essentially the same look)
