I thought the software was called "PTgui" (small ''g'') but I just checked my copy and it uses a capital ''G''. In fact, the name is stylized as "PT''Gui''", so should we also use italics here?

PTGui

I thought the software was called "PTgui" (small g) but I just checked my copy and it uses a capital G. In fact, the name is stylized as "PTGui", so should we also use italics here? nagualdesign 03:45, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
