I have this vague memory of reading a humorous blog post by some Windows developer about a workaround he implemented because some Adobe Photoshop program used an API method incorrectly or something.<p>This API was rewritten and Photoshop no longer worked. He had to write some code in the API specific for Photoshop in order for it to work. All I can remember is that it involved Photoshop, and something to do with font rendering.<p>Does anyone remember this article? It would be nice to see if this developer is still writing. I think he also wrote something about the reason why some Pinball game didn't get ported to Windows 64-bit.
