RE: Password entry fields

[pranavn]

Someone's got to be really idle to actually take time out to memorize the
keystrokes of a font like Wingdings.

You do have a point there though. Using common fonts might not be a good
idea for applications that are supposed to be entirely foolproof. But I
guess this should work as a cheap workaround if you dont have the resources
to write a new font.

actually they don't mask anything since if you have the font accessable you
will be able to figure out the keys. what he is looking for will give no
indication of any difference between characters.
