One of my coworkers wrote the following WHY comment yesterday:

// __          ___    ___     __    ___ 
// \ \        / / |  | \ \   / /   |__ \
//  \ \  /\  / /| |__| |\ \_/ /       ) |
//   \ \/  \/ / |  __  | \   /       / /
//    \  /\  /  | |  | |  | |       |_| 
//     \/  \/   |_|  |_|  |_|       (_) 
//
// Because the normal ChildWindow causes a memoryleak.
// The memory leak was created because the ChildWindow subscribed to the RootVisual_GotFocus multiple times...

    @Awkward Coder — the link Rob sent produces a wider ‘W’ using the ‘big’ font. I agree, looks a tad better.
