RE: help me please! (its off the topic but i didn't know where else to

All,

has anyone considered the fact that some  users might not want to view your
site in the fonts you have chosen for them.  Perhaps they prefer their own
such as arial or helvetica.  Others are often hard to read.  I am not trying
to start a flame war, but folks should consider this.  Remember the web is
among other things an interactive media.

Sincerely,

Mike Burks

I haven't used it (downloaded ages ago but not got round to it yet) but MS
do something called WEFT (Web Embedding Font Tool) which supposedly does
this. I can't remember the URL but if you do a search on the Microsoft site
you should find it.
