At Princeton, they make those that underperform take, "holidays."

That sounds scary. 8O

What are these "holidays"?

Suspensions to give the students some time to study and recover. It helps with the retention of the students, apparently, because the number that fail to graduate is very low.

Well, I suppose that makes sense, given the policy of "grade deflation" that Princeton has.

Oh, and Princeton is known to baby its students and assume they are incapable, from what I've heard.

I installed the fonts, but they won't show up on my computer's font list. It says they are installed when I try to re-install them, though.
So, uh, just assume I've installed the fonts. Now what do I do?

First, restart whichever program (e.g. your word processor and its suite and any tray icons it might have). If that fails to work, restart the computer and they should appear. Programs tend to load fonts only when starting.

Yep, I see it now! Is the font only supposed to be limited to a few characters?

And numbers, of course. From memory,
t - thymine (/uracil)
c - cytosine
a - adenine
g - guanine

Ambiguity convention:
y - pyrimidine (t,c)
r - purine (a,g)
n - any (t,c,a,g)
k - keto (t,g)
m - amino (c,a)
u/v? - not-t (c,a,g)
d - not-c (t,a,g)
b - not-a (t,c,g)
h - not-g (t,c,a)

I THINK that is all. You will notice that the ambiguity characters are combinations of the T, C, A, and G characters.

I'll have to try it out when I get the chance. It seems to be working.

MALNIREA*

The N is because the letter B represents Asx, or aspar-something and N was the one I remembered first.

The M is needed to initiate it, the * is a stop codon. You will likely see more once you enter the more ad-

OH! :oops:
