I hardly consider them heroes. Vandalism is vandalism. They could have made their point very well by photographing all these signs, putting up a web page with the evidence and the required corrections, and then calling a press conference and making a media event out of it. If everybody simply

The original problem reported by Paul stems from the Windows phantom phont phenomena! Windows font enumeration, used by standard Windows applications (such as FrameMaker), allows printer drivers to insert font information to be passed back to the application even if such fonts are not actually
