Hi Judith, sorry to be so long getting back to you. Had to do some cooking and real life things... http://www.microsoft.com/typography/links/News.aspx?NID=1699 The above is Microsoft's web page about typography, it has lots of links there. You download and use their WEFT tool to turn a font into a file that can be embedded into a stationery or into a web page. The programs that Microsoft offers for this are also all free. Not all fonts can be used this way . . .author's choice, so Microsoft also has an tiny extension file that you can download on to your pc. What this does is to add features to the right click function for fonts. When you have this little program, you can right click on a font file, choose properties, and it will tell you much more about the font. It will also tell you whether the creator of the font will allow embedding. AND you can be viewing a font in The Font Thing and right click on the font in that program, choose properties, and you still get the same extended information about the font! Then after you have a lot of EOT files, you can download an EZ EOT Reader from the Letterman site to see what they look like. You can get it here: http://www.lettermanstationery.com/ezeot.htm and it's free. His site is a treasure trove for those of us who are stationery nuts. And this is another program I couldn't do without. As is his "PostBrowser program"! All those stationery emails that you have saved in your "Aunt Tilly" folder? Well you don't have to open up each one in OE. You can use the PostBrowser to view them. Easy program to use and saves loads of time. This is also a free program. An EOT allows you to add this file (with the correct code) to your stationery so that the recipient will see the same font that you used to create the stationery, whether they have it on their computer or not. It does not install it on their pc. Hope this explains a bit more about EOTs for you, Sammi ----- Original Message ----- From: Judith To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2005 1:46 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: adding downloaded fonts Creating fonts is way out of my league, but I do make and use EOTs. My computer is not for business . . . it's just for me and whatever I want to do. Fun stuff! Sammi _________ OK so what is an EOT???
