The response to my inquiry on Defunciones has been very helpful and enlightening - y'all are awesome to enter the discussion and share your knowledge.

Not everyone owns the same word processing or publishing software (Microsoft Word, Corel's WordPerfect, etc.) or the same fonts you may choose to use in your files.
