The recipient will see your signature in Script MT Bold only if he or she has installed that font. According to <http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/index.shtml>, that font appears on only 58% of Windows systems and not at all on Mac or Linux systems. While browsers such as Firefox and SeaMonkey support Web fonts -- where you can cause a Web page to use fonts from your server even if they are not on the user's system -- I don't think any E-mail application has that capability, either for composing and sending messages or for receiving and reading messages. Furthermore, there are still a number of individuals who view E-mail only in ASCII. None of them will see your signature in Script MT Bold even if they have installed that font. NOTE WELL: Before anyone revives the argument about ASCII-formatted E-mail verus HTML-formatted E-mail, please note that I did not say anything about favoring one or the other. I merely said that some individuals do favor ASCII-formatted E-mail. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
