Talk:Core fonts for the Web

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I changed the archive.org link to point to: 20020124085641 as it contains a newer version of Courier New for the Macintosh. 68.114.100.38 21:55, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

I like to bash Microsoft as much as the rest of us, but for the sake of neutrality, might we want to either remove or expand the one-sentence paragraph about Håkon Wium Lie? ~RCanine

[edit] Questioning Presumed Requirement to Keep Archives in Their Original Format

I read the EULA and I do not believe that the following statement is true. Where in the EULA is this required? I do not see how the archive containing the EULA and the font file can be considered to be part of the "SOFTWARE PRODUCT". I think everybody is been jumping through a lot of hoops based on a misunderstanding.

allows redistribution as long as the packages are kept in their original format

UPDATE: I now see that this is specified in the FAQ. However, I still don't see how you can get this out of reading the EULA. How can the FAQ be binding?

You may only redistribute the fonts in their original form (.exe or .sit.hqx) and with their original file name from your Web site or intranet site.

[edit] Cross Disponibility

It could be interesting to add a small description on how avalable those fonts are on others plateform (even if it's not the aim of this MS initiative). For example, Impact is not in the standard MAC OS X package, Trebuchet MS is in the standard MAC OS X package but can be disable, Georgia is in the standard MAC OS X package and can't be disabled ([1]). Georgia is serif. What is the most cross-platforme sans-serif one? Could be be very valuable to indicate that kind of thing.

[edit] Newer versions

I think Microsoft released newer versions for some of them, however, I doubt they have favorable redistribution license. click here --Voidvector (talk) 10:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
