The information about the Courier New font being easier on the editors is a great piece of information. If I have a choice where Courier New is one of the options, I'll take it over any other option.
I felt sorry for the one woman having lost her $50 but I think to have granted her an exception from the written guidelines would be a slippery slope. Often the only way you can keep people to the rules is to not cut them any slack. Otherwise I can just see the next person being upset because (as an example) she accidentally used Courier 10 instead of Courier 12.... One exception, no matter how minor, tends to breed others and soon you have no rules.
Great information again, thanks! If I find you at RWA in Atlanta, I'm buying you a drink - we can talk about cats or something :)
