[edit] Tahoma is not used in Windows ME

This sight sucks...it gave me absolutely no information that i wanted. You need to give up and never make another page. MS Sans Serif for its system font. --Kuroki Mio 2006 22:53, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License of the linked font?

Does anyone know the license of the linked font?

I didn't find anything on the Microsoft website. Would be nice to note it here, so people can see if it is legal for them to download and use the font. --Gnypsl (talk) 09:34, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

No - http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FID=19&FNAME=Tahoma says that it is an ascender font - See EULA http://www.ascenderfonts.com/info/EULA.aspx Rombust (talk) 11:59, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "grave design flaw"

"The font typeface contains a grave design flaw: The left double quotation mark (“, Unicode U+201C) is tilted to the left, making the font unsuitable for German and some other European languages."

This may need some explanation, as I have trouble seeing the problem. Links to left double quote, and german language/spelling do not hint at a difference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Redoubts (talkcontribs) 08:10, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

This assertion is wrong, it has no citation, and it doesn't even make sense; as the comment above points out, the links to other wikipedia entries do not back up this claim in any way. Some googling about Tahoma and design flaws or quotation glyphs didn't even turn up evidence that this is at least a widely held wrong assertion. I'm just going to delete it.
