Yeah, I know that ... but I'd be happy to be able to design
for the vast bulk of Windows and Macintosh machines that have
at least 640 x 480 resolution ... and reasonable approximations
of Times and Helvetica. I'll accept a lot of constraints
if in trade I get to give the user the OPTION of seeing
the document the way I designed it.
(I see no point at all to designing documents with exotic fonts
if only 2 percent of my viewers have those fonts -- now that
would really be a waste!)
I suppose, however, that the widget could be extended
to be able to say to the user --
oops, you haven't got the font needed to optimize this document
... so what you see may not be what the designer intended.
Cheers,
Bill
