Used usually for heading banners as you have to convert your text lines to SVG shapes so small sizes are ragged - Xara's truncation is too acute.

Naw, I'm sure it was shining out of his when I looked:

Split the difference? In Wordle parlance, I had two right and one wrong, you had three right and two wrong.

I just thought 'sun' was wrong from what I remembered from school

apparently there is no such thing as a definitive shakespeare text - so as I live with someone who is an expert on such things, I went by her guidance hence 'portfolio text' [aparently as oposed to any another of which there are many]

that is a print copy; it now gets very arcane;

every performance of shakespeare in his lifetime would be different - they played to the audience, literaly; that is how they made money and kept them coming back for a 'new' exoperience - 'music hall' style so to speak; so for example when Richarnd III said he was determined to be a villain he would say that directly to the audience and there would be what we now call interactive response from the auditorium... we are gradually getting back to not treating a particular text and treatment as 'sacred'

the script was just used as a point of reference; topical items would be added; things that were considered touchy for the current state of affairs would be left out; ad libbing would be done throughout

I am advised that the [accepted] written portfolio said sonne; what a print editor thought correct spelling is another matter
