Hi,
Yes, indeed the file size for luximr.ttf is different in my system !!!!
The actual file size is 71784 which is shown by Jan's mail. Also, the
same filesize was found on my office system where I have installed the same
font. But, in my system it shows 72485. I have downloaded the font from my
gmail account(same location from where I had downloaded to my office PC,
which shows correct size). What could be the reason for this ?
Please dont consider the below question as silly, I just want to remove
all ambiguity. I am using Pentium-II machine, with 512MB RAM. I have opened
'Mozilla' browser from the 'Launch' menu, entered gmail and downloaded the
font from my account(stored in a mail). Could any of these lead to
non-uniformity of file size?
Kindly suggest.
With regards,
Sreeram
