It is supposed to use the font that you specify ... I
wonder why it didn't.
Maybe it will, as long as that font has the necessary glyphs. Maybe only if it
doesn't, it may resort to a system font selection? The problem is, you don't know
when that happens. Well, it may be obvious for chinese, but not for others. Also I am not
sure for other OS's.
I suppose in an ideal world DoM would be able to do the font-compressor
thing itself.
Yeah, I think we talked about that before. It just seems too much work to only accommodate
for some rare fonts that are too large. At least for the 'western world', it seems
a single font not even touching the 640KByte limit caters for all common languages. It may
be a bit of a eurocentric position but then, you only know what you know...
If only font compressor was a java application, or available in source code.
Have you ever played with font compressor? Maybe it get's you infected.
I mean, it's not SO exciting to throw away unused glyphs from a font file. Don't
know if there are libraries or sources to deal with TTF files on that level.
