Tiger roaring
Teekay goes to the online Apple store Germany to order Tiger for his wife, who doesn’t have a credit card but is a student and therefore entitled to an education discount. Teekay’s credit card billing address is in a neighboring country which shall remain unnamed, but his wife’s shipping address, of course, is in Germany. This *extremely complex situation* <sarcasm> is evidently too much for this technology-aware internet merchant to handle: the billing address doesn’t even *have* a field where one could list a country other than Germany.
This is no way to do business.
I now had to switch to a *bank transfer* — can you imagine? I can’t remember the last time I bought something via bank transfer…
Apple, please, fix this. This is ridiculous.
Speaking of fixing, I’m using *asterisks* for emphasis because ecto somehow decided it didn’t want to deal with my italics any more. Anyone has any clue how to fix this?
Re your italics, it could be the font you use as default in the Rich Text mode. For some fonts, MacOSX doesn’t display italics. You can change the default font in the Preferences.

That’s *exactly* what it was, thanks! I’d forgotten that I’d changed the default font from Optima to Geneva.
