I will probably add some features of Dynamically Downloadable Fonts in the future. Personally, I think it can do with a little stabilisation first.
In the meantime, if you have downloaded the appropriate font, see what I have in the next line:
M
The font face was "Microsoft Logo" and all that face contains is the company's logo (complete with the cleft in the first "o") in place of M (both lower and uppercase). Hey, I am not a great fan of Bill, but gotta give it to them for this.
Hey, somebody should do a font comprising the logos of some of the bigger names on the Internet, such as Netscape, Sun, IBM, Lotus, Cisco, Java, etc.
You also have to give it to the Microsoft ppl for giving away a few basic fonts for downloading. If it does not appear on your screen, go download them yourself at url:
