    Last time I looked TrueDoc did not not work well with fonts for Unicode ranges
    beyond Latin-1.
    and for IE it requires the installation of an ActiveX component on client
    machines. You may also need to purchase software to make embeddeble fonts that
    work with TrueDoc.

    Please see: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3/default.htm
    and: http://groups.msn.com/MicrosoftWEFTuserscommunity/_homepage.msnw
    for Microsoft's (free) Web Embedding Font Tool (WEFT)

Subject: RE: Fonts on Web Pages
Aaargh! No it doesn't!!!! PLEASE stop filling this thread with stuff which does
not address the original question. I am interested in WEB PAGES. Nothing else.
Not Acrobat Files. Not Word files. Nothing. JUST WEB PAGES. If you can't do it
on a bog standard HTML page, it's not answering the question.
Frustrated with all these unrelated side-issues, I decided to try Google
instead. (Google often gives better answers about things than specialist
lists!). I found a really good demo of exactly what I was after at
"http://www.truedoc.com/webpages/intro/". Of course, I still don't know if this
is state-of-the-art, or whether something better has turned up since then.
If anyone has any further information about how to embed fonts in HTML files,
please let me know.
Thanks
Jill
