The license agreements for most fonts would prohibit that type of
distribution. In addition, that would presume that the user knew how to
install fonts, which may or may not be the case.

There are several font-embedding technologies (Google search: "font
embedding"), which would allow your viewers to view your pages in the
correct fonts, but not use the fonts for anything else. However, there are
cross-platform/cross-browser compatibility issues.

If push comes to shove, Flash also supports font-embedding, but requires the
Flash player be installed on the user's machine.

Cheers,
Sam

Is there a way to have Flash MX export fonts into the SWF file so that folks
that do not have a certain font used in the Flash movie will still be bale
to see it as intended ?

does anyone know of any good links for unusual fonts something like the
Beowulf font ?

[John T]

A search at Google of "unusual fonts" rendered several results. I didn't go
through them all though. :-)

Could you be a bit more specific?
Are you looking for Old English Fonts?
Are you actually looking for the Beowulf font?
Are you looking for fonts that have a lot of rune-like symbols in them ?

I could only find one or two pages with the Beowulf font on it, so was
wondering what quality of the font appeals to you or suits your current
need.

You might start with the University of Virginia site main where Peter S.
Baker (who I believe did the Beowulf font) has some others all bundled
together in multiple formats.

Not sure what the copyright/usage guidelines are, so you might want to check
those first.

Cheers,
Sam

Hi,

Anyone got any ideas on roughly what proportion of users might have Geneva
installed? I did think it was a default font, but now I think it isn't.

Thanks

Rob

[Murray *TMM*]

I know exactly what the number is - it's zero for Windows users. 8(

It's a Mac font.

Thought so... it's a pity as it's much more legible that Arial at small font
sizes. It is available for PC though. I have it for a start...

[Storyman]

seems that quite a few Win users have Verdana installed as defualt. More
pleasing that Arial IMHO.

Looking for Wendish fonts for our family newsletter were going to add to the family website using Publisher 2003.
Does anyone have a link to a site that provides sorbian-wendish fonts? Free or open source related would be the best, but could shop around for proprietary created as well.

Currently using:
Win xp pro
Adobe Go Live as site editor
Office pro 2003

[anonymous]

use [url]www.google.com[/url] or [url]www.yahoo.com[/url] and search for
Wendish fonts

Been there done that
Found very few sources that were in English. Did find some sites, but there were no site translation pages for the English language. Frustrating since I do not read the language I'm wanting to translate
Our family has some members still alive who can speak, write wendish/sorbian, but web fonts, no
We could copy and paste from a scanned object, but would like to do editing on the site with the language for the older family members.

Found some software from the link provided
Thank You!

I have about 850 TT fonts. They all display (font menu) in Illustrator CS and ImageReady CS but not Photoshop CS.

Why oh why?

If you do a search for fonts and display you can read the many threads on this subject.
