Fonts

If anyone's interested ...

Below is a script that displays a character string (numbers and letters) in
every font that is on my PC.

I extracted the list of fonts from an export of the Windows registry via
"find" -- your fonts may differ.

Fonts that contain " Bold" or " Italic" or " Oblique"are skipped.

Thanks for your interest.

I sometimes want to know how a font will look in comparison to others. This
utility does just that.

I develop browser-based applications and sometimes want a font other than
the usual suspects (e.g. Arial or Times New Roman). This helps me identify
candidates.

I posted it thinking others might use it for this purpose or perhaps others.

That's great that you can see all your fonts on your computer. But you
have no way of knowing what fonts that guy over there has on his
computer.

The only assumption anyone can reasonably make is that *a* font exists.
If it displays the glyphs associated with your chosen script (not all
languages are called English, and even fewer of them use the same
alphabet), that's a bonus.

Thanks for your interest.

BTW, what does "hu kiteb" mean?

That's why I included the line: "I extracted the list of fonts from an
export of the Windows registry via "find" -- your fonts may differ."

I'm not assuming anything. I was just sharing a script that I thought might
be of interest to someone. Evidently, you're not that "someone".

It's perfectly reasonable for many sites to target their content
only to visitors with English fonts. It's not unreasonable to
assume that a majority will have the more common MicroSoft fonts
available, provided that you also specify fallback fonts and check
the appearance of your site using all of them.

font-family: MS Comic Sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
