Interesting use of the word ’font’ by someone who should know better? Or perhaps using font instead of ’caption’ is acceptable in the world of TV news?

“Mr. Rather requests that his font not associate him with CBS News. So no ’Former CBS Anchor.’ We thank you and Dan thanks you.”

Si (and Dan) thank you.
