Sorry I'm one of those die-hards who doesn't use Windows (well I do at work because they pay to :-) I prefer to use a Mac or a Linux machine---in rising order of that preference. However, I usually only have a console session running rather than X so the use of other fonts won't help me with SignWriting enriched messages. But when SignWriting 5 is released and Unicode is extended with the approrpirate glyphs I could be persuaded to change the habits of a lifetime. Whilst mine is a personal preference there will be many people who can't (won't) be able to use TrueType fonts when reading email. This situation will continue well into the next Millennium. So don't count on everyone being able to use it for a long time. Regards, Trevor -- <>< Re: deemed! | ||||||||||||||||||||
