New Don't hold your breath.
I've been griping about this in various discussion forums for years. The answer from the "community" is always exactly the same.

"Read the fsk'n HOWTO."

You don't need nice fonts to write code, and if it isn't code it's irrelevent and not worth doing.

New Heh.. {sigh}\ufffd
Just *this little glitch* alone.. culled less clearly than above - from previous font-rants over past year or so:

Is why I haven't ordered that el-cheapo eMachine box to commence,

dev/self-flagellation/security/modem?/fonts??/null

(Of course as even the dejunked W98SE-lite.. becomes a poisoned well, with the Bataan Death March >>> 6X6P6 - I shall *have* to bite all the bullets, revamp brain cache from \\ to / and eat the above kinds of Stupid Omissions of Basic Functionality [SOBF \ufffd] since..

Never would I remotely consider use of any *next* M$ atrocity beyond 98-atrocity; especially after peering into the guts of W2K-Server for no-fun and no-profit)



Sheesh - what fools these mortals be.

New Community's answer worse than usual.
It would be nicer of the HOWTO ripped into how bad it all was as well as told you how to live with it, because then the people responsible might have some impetus to fix it.

And for the record, I myself found the HOWTOs considerably less than normally useful.
