Bitstream Cybit vs TITUS Cyberbit.....

HRANT wanted to know why i prefer TITUS Cyberbit over the older Bitstream Cyberbit....Here they are both at 24 point, the older Bitstream Cyberbit on top and the newer TITUS Cyberbit at bottom....both are 24 point. I like the way the type fils space horizontally and especially vertically much better with TITUS. Sorry, but the insert image feature does not work for me.

Serifs are dead. I do like the daily news though.

Odd. They must have fixed that "problem" in the copy of TITUS Cyberbit Basic that I just recently downloaded, because it now wastes space just as the Bitstream one does in your image.

I also just downloaded TITUS and had a version of Bitstream that FontBook tells me not to install. I thus tested with xeLaTeX (without installing, i.e. using ExternalLocation) and I got the same line lengths as the jpg above (but, thanks to TeX, no discrepancy in the line spacing).
