A lot of windows users automatically assume that their fonts are available
on all systems. This normally is not a problem. The problem occurs when
such people suddenly realise - "Hey I know MS Word, I can build a
website." - and they take their pathetic non-portable fonts with them to
the web. I say non-portable because the use of non-standard fonts makes
the html pages non-portable.
Most of these people are just victims of companies that build the
products, giving users the power to do things without first checking if
they have sufficient knowledge and responsibility to use that power.
Sorry, had to say that. Visit http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/html-hell.html
