If I understand you correctly that this is a Uniscribe issue which affects - other browsers that rely on Uniscribe (including Firefox) in combination with - other web font formats too (did I get this right?) then this is rather the opposite of "largely irrelevant to this discussion".. For foundries, this is at least as relevant as "ouch, good to know". :) (And you robbed Mr Daggett of his core IE argument against EOT Lite.) Karsten
