Problem

Symptoms: The fonts in the customer's base font list show up in alphabetical order, but the point sizes do not. For example: the CG Times fonts start with 10pt and go all the way up to 63pt. Then the 6pt, 71pt, 7pt, 82pt, and 8pt fonts display. This makes it difficult for the customer to find the font he needs. Solutions: Actually, the fonts are listed in alphabetical order. What the customer wants is for the font names to be in alphabetical order and the point sizes to list numerically. If you have the word 72pt and the word 7pt, the word 72pt comes first. The reason is the first difference is found in the second characters of each word, "2" and "p". The number 2 comes before the letter p in an alphabetical search. The number 2 has a decimal value of 50 and the letter p has the value of 112. So 72pt comes before 7pt in an alphabetical search.
