Fonts on web pages are dependant on the fonts installed on the end users computer. Unless you run round the 500 million or so computers out there and install the fonts you want it would pay to stick to the common ones. Similarly a font in a document when transfered to snother computer relies on the fonts as used on the other computer. The best solution if you want to share a document looking exactly as written is to export it as PDF which embeds the fonts into the document. This has an overhead in size of the document which can make PDFs incredibly slow to download on dialup. > Can you tell me where I can find free TTF fonts > that looks the same in Microsoft Word/Excel and > OpenOffice (Writer, Spreadsheet, etc)? > Free fonts have a catch in that very often only the bare necessities are included. Capitals, lower case and numbers with minimal punctuation. Seldom do they include accented letters and sometime they do not even include lower case. -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
