If you want interesting trivia, try the "personal life" section of Eric Gill's Wikipedia article though I warn you, it may well put you off using his fonts.

That bit of trivia about the font creator (as opposed to the font) I definitely didn't need to know. Blecchhh!

I ought to have, (but didn't heed) your warning, and you are so right! Now I am really torn! At what point does one disassociate the person(ality) from the art? (similar to any discussion on Wagner's works today!)

>> it may well put you off using his fonts

I believe you are very right there! I am actually pretty pissed off with the man and his works now!
