| 102324 | 2002-12-02 09:31:00 | Web pages and html emails all use something in common - the html markup language. HTML doesn't actually contain stuff like font code - it contains a link to the font stored on the recipient's computer. This makes html files much smaller than things like Word documents which stores the font code in the actual document. It does, however, mean that the recipient won't see the fancy font if they don't have it installed. Another problem is that Macs and PCs don't always contain the same fonts as standards. This explains why most web pages use one of a very select group of fonts. Headings and logos in a different font are usually stored as images to get round the problem. |

| 102325 | 2002-12-02 22:06:00 | Obviously I've been misunderstood... The plain text e-mail only contains the font file, and instructions on where to put it. Okay, sending two e-mails at once can be rather cumbersome, but how many of you have attempted retrieving 3 Mb of e-mails because a 'friend' decided to send you that 102 page list of blonde jokes, and did it with a nice, fancy, stationery-using e-mail? All well and good, unless the best connection you can get to the net is 42.6kbits, ah la me... Oh and by the way, it took 2 hours, and over 50% were repeats of jokes from earlier in the list, and about half of what was left, he'd sent me before... |

| 102326 | 2002-12-02 22:13:00 | 2 minor problems with that one. 1. The font is probably copywrited 2. Most people won't install it. |

| 102327 | 2002-12-04 21:40:00 | Well, that one's new to me. A copyrighted font... Interesting I must say... Makes me feel just a little bit silly. Good call! Looks like you're m8s are going to have to shell out for one of those font cd's, unless you want to break some laws... (not advisable) Bummer. I still feel silly... |

| 102328 | 2002-12-05 00:50:00 | One learns by experience. You've obviously not received a document from a client containing some weird Adobe font that they want matched on their web site. Lots of fonts are in the public domain but others are copyrighted. |
