Hakon, I think a Developer's day session and/or a BOF on Web fonts would be useful addition(s) to the May W3C conference program, and Adobe would definitely like to participate. Fonts in HTML is certainly the immediate concern, but from our perspective fonts on the Web is also a broader issue, touching on Java, formats for dynamic media, etc. In line with earlier comments on this list, we (Adobe) believe that the Microsoft proposal and the Adobe/Netscape/Apple proposal will be complementary (actually, our proposal is a functional superset of Microsoft's). No one wants another "font war". More details on this to follow soon, I hope. But, given that things might not be totally settled by May, I might suggest that the session organizer if possible be a neutral party, perhaps someone with a background in Web publishing, rather than one of us folks who are promoting a specific solution. --Bill Bill McCoy Director, Core Technology Adobe Systems Incorporated mccoy@adobe.com
