[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]The Red Admiral[/b]: I'm always wary of using Star Trek fonts on my site, text-wise that is. The user has to have those fonts installed on their computers otherwise it's just going to show up as Times New Roman, or something equally bland and ghastly. Gif logos and banners excepted though, obviously...[/QUOTE]Oh, absolutely. I've never, ever done it otherwise. Because the chance of another Trek fan browsing your site having the exact same font with the exact same name installed on their hard drive is pretty small. First, these Trek fonts are not widely distributed aside from webmasters. Second, they often have altered names, and so they can end up not being used even if the font is the one intended, because it doesn't have the name that the website specifies. One thing that I've started to do is specifying multiple "backup" fonts in my CSS style sheet. I prefer Arial, but if the visitor doesn't have that for some obscure reason, there are alternatives that can allow for an approximation before they have to resort to the horrible (for Trek websites) Times New Roman. [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]Red BWC[/b]: You would like to retrace them for me, wouldn't you? Please?[/QUOTE]BWC: I didn't say this before because I was EXTREMELY annoyed by this comment. If you want to do something for your website, you should do it yourself. If you want to be able to add a major set of well-done images using vector illustrations, then learn how to draw the damn things yourself! This is a personal hobby, and there is absolutely no reason why other people should do your stuff for you. There are plenty of handy vector-based programs out there. I'd recommend Macromedia Freehand 10, because I've been very impressed with Macromedia's products (I recently bought Studio MX), though I haven't delved into Freehand yet. If you're a college student enrolled at a university, you can buy Freehand for $99. [/QB][/QUOTE]
