I see from your document: Last Modified: Thursday, 08-Aug-96 01:13:12 GMT The main substance of the argument seems to be not that pixelfonts are good, but that outline fonts on the Web are bad. You seem to take the position that outline fonts should only be used by phototypesetting bureaux, everyone else should use bitmaps to ensure that they don't copy outline fonts. So you don't much care to define what pixelfonts might mean or how they might be used, just that people shouldn't use outline fonts on the Web. Would that be a fair summary? -- Chris Lilley, W3C [ http://www.w3.org/ ] Graphics and Fonts Guy The World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/people/chris/ INRIA, Projet W3C chris@w3.org 2004 Rt des Lucioles / BP 93 +33 93 65 79 87 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
