"Prellyan", I very much doubt that anybody - anybody at all, ever - would do that. It's just nowhere *near* important enough to users. Plus: good designers have been making beautiful web pages for years using the commonly available fonts, plus occasional images when a special font is important to the design. -- Patty Ayers | www.WebDevBiz.com Free Articles on the Business of Web Development Web Design Contract, Estimate Request Form, Estimate Worksheet -- |

| Re: Auto Font Download wow - such a diverse response - actually it is good cause there are pros and cons from both sides - not much to do in the short term though to change it - yeah jsut get a bit frustrated that there are so many cool ways to design but limited in the potential for end users. Thanks so much for the information - and i really do hope i didnt offend anyone. |
