Michael:

Aside from being tedious there are probably license costs that would
make it an expensive endeavour.  Besides, I believe it's already been
done (for TT) in the WFC.  Since such a thing would be MS only you
wouldn't find a lot of interest in the Java world.

I believe there are some PS font products out there already -- that's
a lot more portable.

1.2, however, makes most of this moot with it's new font handling
functionality.  It even gets around the basic problem stemming from
font use which is the assumption that so many developers make about
what fonts are available on a client (esp. when they can't deploy the
fonts themselves because they don't have rights).

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
