443. pseudoerasmus - 10/2/1999 4:22:27 AM Dusty, yes, I'm aware of thumbnails. Please don't teach me HTML. 444. dusty - 10/2/1999 4:22:56 AM Arky, as you can see, there are about 2500 free fonts on that site alone, and there are many other sites with free fonts, so it isn't really practical to make a list of the free fonts. However, it someone refers to a specific font, you can use a search engine (such as Google.com) to find the font. That's how I found Bellevue, but I found it on an Adobe site. It could be downloaded for a fee.
For example,
here is the site where Bellevue can be obtained, but it costs $96.00, so I doubt you will find too many takers.
445. pseudoerasmus - 10/2/1999 4:23:02 AM Thanks, Dusty, for the Cyrillic workout. The second one is the correct one. 446. dusty - 10/2/1999 4:23:51 AM pseudoerasmus
Don't be an ass—that comment was directed at other readers as much as at you. 447. CalGal - 10/2/1999 4:28:09 AM I still like the idea of someone putting together our own site with commonly used fonts. 448. arkymalarky - 10/2/1999 4:38:57 AM I'll compare the ones on the FontFreak list with what I've got on both pcs. That site has more than I'd ever be interested in, and it will let me see what I already have that's free. I guess the Bellevue just came with a program on my school pc which I don't have here. 449. dusty - 10/2/1999 4:41:44 AM I think, as a general rule, if a font name begins with "ITC", it is a commercial version. I think people have created free versions, looking almost identical, and used the same name except placing the "ITC" at the end. For example, there is a font called Bradley Hand ITC and one called ITC Bradley Hand. The second one can be purchased, but the other one can be downloaded for free in a number of places. If someone has better information on this, please share it. I'm sure there are some people putting purchased fonts up on websites for download, and we do not want to encourage that.
Many people may also be interested in a font called "comic sans" I believe CG is using it in her webpages. One site offers a download with both fonts here
450. arkymalarky - 10/2/1999 4:43:32 AM That's one both of my pcs have, but I can't see on my website when I try to use it. 451. dusty - 10/2/1999 4:45:03 AM Arky, there's another possibility.
Just because a font is on your computer doesn't mean it is installed. I believe if it is placed in the fonts directory (under Windows, if you are using 95 or 98), it is automatically available. If it exists on another folder, I believe it can be installed, but I think that simply copies it into the right folder. You said you had the font in both places. Can you use the font (in say, Word) in both places? If not, perhaps it is in the right directory on one computer, and not the other.

Polar bear Clementine dives to take a closer look at a white dog at the Aalborg Zoo in Denmark on Friday. The zoo's four polar bears took possession of their new enclosure earlier in the day.

I let my Netscape go two years ago and have kept my IE, which has been for the most part very reliable. I suppose I could have kept both, I'm not able to get to the flags musings.
2084. RickNelson - 10/2/99 5:20:54 AM
hmmm, isn't that an interesting wrap.
2085. pellenilsson - 10/2/99 5:21:48 AM
What did I do wrong? Should I have added a string of line breaks?
2086. RickNelson - 10/2/99 5:25:33 AM
Based solely on intuition, for I've never done one myself, I think you have the correct answer.
453. arkymalarky - 10/2/1999 4:47:30 AM Can you use the font (in say, Word) in both places?
Yes, I can. I'll try changing folders. Thanks for the help, and I'll let you know this week whether it worked. 454. CalGal - 10/2/1999 4:48:01 AM Changing the only possible typo--but this works fine in preview, as did the first.

455. dusty - 10/2/1999 4:48:41 AM Arky, if you like the look of Bellevue, but want a font everyone can see, there is probably a font similar in appearance. Commercial Script BT is a font with some similarity to Bellevue, although Bellevue is nice in that it has a formal look, but the lower case is less flowery. 456. CalGal - 10/2/1999 4:49:44 AM Hmm. Okay, so he had no typo and it worked in preview.

457. dusty - 10/2/1999 4:51:18 AM If people list fonts they are interested in using, I'll try to copy them onto my webpage, and set up a single place to download them, as a short term solution. Longer term, we should either load them onto the same server as the Mote pages, or identify a more permanent place. Perhaps the site that hosts the archives? 458. CalGal - 10/2/1999 4:52:06 AM Trying again...

461. Cellar Door - 10/2/1999 4:55:32 AM I keep expecting the Polar bear to eat that dog. 462. arkymalarky - 10/2/1999 4:58:45 AM I'll check that one out, Dusty. I'm not stuck on Bellevue, it's just one of a handful I could get to work on my school pc and then it wouldn't show up at home, but since it's not free that may explain it. I don't know if I have it on my home pc anywhere, but some I've tried I do have. That's what's so weird. But if your suggestion of switching folders works, there are several I really like a lot better than Bellevue. I'll use Arial or TNR for body copy, but since I don't have any tools or skill in graphics, I'm just using other fonts for headings and subheadings and the first page and such.
Part of what aggravated me was that I was going to show my husband what I'd done and when I went to the page it was TNR, and it didn't look nearly as nice.
