Sh*t my QA says
There is a bug, I just haven't found it yet.
Well, it's broken on my machine!
In the Danish version of Windows, if you click really fast, the app just crashes.
It doesn't work when I put Cyrillic text in. Or Greek, Hebrew, or

Favourite writing tools
My TWSBI 580 fountain pen is one of my favourites. It's not the most expensive fountain pen, but it always starts well, writes smoothly, and the piston-fill ink reservoir holds a LOT of ink. It's currently filled with the original formulation of Noodler's Black
