TrueDoc Portable Font Resource was implemented in a browser (in Netscape 4) but is no longer relevant; with the move from closed-source Netscape to open-source Mozilla that format, which required payment of license fees to Bitstream, was dropped. TrueDoc PFR and EOT were the origina two formats used for downloadable fonts on the Web, historically. EOT used CSS @font-face; PFR used an HTML link relation. -- Best regards, Chris Lilley Technical Director, W3C Interaction Domain
