As I have said elsewhere, I don't find font scanning too intrusive personally and frankly though it would perhaps be more complete to include such functionality there would be little or no benefit in scanning many fonts used on an ad-hoc basis. There are even other font issues more pressing than this, never mind the other more beneficial things you are up to. -- Tim Hill, www.timil.com
