	Using TrueType Core Fonts for the Web
		Beginning web developers often add fonts to their web pages without considering that any visitor to the site also has to have the exact same font installed on their computer or the font used on the page will not be visible to all visitors.
		A font that may look cool to you when you add it to your web page will not look so cool if the visitor doesn't have that font installed on their computer.
		The solution to this problem is simply to use a font that practically everyone has installed on their computer.

	Microsoft Cuts the Line to Web Core Fonts \| Typographica
		The core font pack never had these (in fact, its EULA was pretty liberal), and from MS’s point of view, I could well imagine someone calling it a bug in the EULA.
		The “core fonts” were partly or completely owned by Microsoft, it was their intellectual property, they paid for it.
		All the best fonts that come with GNU, Linux, and Unix were donated by for-profit companies like Bitstream and URW or commissioned from for-profit (read: for-food-on-the-table) designers like Zapf by non-profit foundations like the American Mathematical Society an X11 Consortium, whose members paid their dues from the salary of their for-profit jobs.

	FedoraForum.org - M$ Core Fonts
		If you wish to add new fonts to your Fedora Core 2 system, you must be aware that the steps necessary depend on which font subsystem is to use the new fonts.
		Adding new fonts to the fontconfig font subsystem is more straightforward; the new font file only needs to be copied into the /usr/share/fonts/ directory (individual users can modify their personal font configuration by copying the font file into the ~/.fonts/ directory).
		NOTE: If the font filename ends with ".gz", it has been compressed with gzip, and must be decompressed (with the gunzip command) before the fontconfig font subsystem can use the font.

	Optimal Use of MS TrueType Core Fonts for a KDE Desktop on SuSE - OpenSUSE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		How to render fonts on Linux is a passionate debate, as some people prefer anti-aliased fonts, where others prefer a sharp rendering, like how a Microsoft Windows system will look if ClearType is disabled (this is often the case except on some laptops with a restoration CD).
		Notice that the small fonts are rendered sharply for a better reading experience but the bigger ones are anti-aliased (take a look at the sentences "Welcome to openSUSE.org" and "Download SUSE Linux").
		The freetype people do recommend not to use the bytecode interpreter anymore in favor of their auto hinting code but while it's true you get a good rendering with most of the free fonts, this is quite ugly for the MS TrueType Core Fonts.

	More about core fonts
		Incorrect encoding is sometimes done by design, in order to make a font for an exotic script appear like an ordinary Western text font on systems which are not easily extended with new locale data.
		It is often the result of the font designer's laziness or incompetence; for some reason, most people seem to find it easier to invent idiosyncratic glyph names rather than follow the Adobe glyph list.
		When loading a proportional fonts which contain a huge number of glyphs, the old FreeType delayed glyph rasterisation until the time at which the glyph was first used.

		Installing fonts is aimed at the casual user wishing to install fonts in X11R6.8.1 the rest of the document describes the font support in more detail.
		X includes two font systems: the original core X11 fonts system, which is present in all implementations of X11, and the Xft fonts system, which may not be distributed with implementations of X11 that are not based on X11R6.8.1 but will hopefully be included by them in the future
		The core X11 fonts system is directly derived from the fonts system included with X11R1 in 1987, which could only use monochrome bitmap fonts.

		There are two ways of dealing with such fonts: using them with the encoding they were designed for, and creating an ad hoc encoding file.
		In order to use these fonts with standard applications, it may be useful to remap them to their proper names.
		Of course, both backends also support an optimisation for character-cell fonts (fonts with all glyph metrics equal, or terminal fonts).

	Unicode fonts
		A font which is available in iso10646-1 encoding, doesn't have to support all glyphs available in Unicode, practically all Unicode fonts only support a subset of Unicode.
		It is often better to use several fonts at once to cover the subset of Unicode you need because it often results in typographical more pleasing results.
		When it comes to combining fonts, terminal emulators are a somewhat special case because one often needs to specify a pair of fonts, one for ``single width'' glyphs and one for ``double width'' glyphs.

	The Case of the Missing Microsoft Fonts (kottke.org)
		Peter wrote in this morning saying that Microsoft was no longer offering their core font pack (you know, Arial, Verdana, Georgia, etc.) for download.
		While not targeted at designers, their typography section was a rarity on the web in that it provided both high quality and freely available downloads.
		Because nearly all their fonts came bundled with most Microsoft products, the prime beneficiaries of the service were not users of Microsoft products.
