Thanks for the link. I just learned this awesome tit-bit from the site: Quote - Have you ever wrote a post or reply or comment on a page, or filled a form, or answered a survey just to find out you clicked a link by accident and ‘lost’ your work? Hold down shift and then use the mouse/keyboard scroll wheel: you can attempt to go forward or backward in your browser history from the RAM. This isn’t like the back/front buttons at the top, those take you to the URL stored, but the scroll wheel trick will load the contents from memory, and if you’re lucky, the form hasn’t been reset.  http://neosmart.net/blog/archives/177

Changing the default font of MS Office from Times New Roman to a san serif font is going to **** off a lot of english teachers when their nimrod students can't figure out how to change it.
Awesome.
On a positive note, we should soon expect to break free from the 90s-00s tradition of countless documents typed up in the same old plain font. I'm quite satisfied with Calibri. All my documents typed up within Word 2007 using Calibri look a lot better. Now if only this beta can print properly.

Web 2.0? Yeesh, those buzzwords are annoying enough if they're actually related.
...
It's starting to get on my nerves, these fonts dont even have any thing to do with the net, it's like me saying this new program on my mac makes my car run faster, it makes no sense. Only font i really like is Consolas, and i "like" Segoe, but that's because it's a "rip" of another font, Frutiger Linotype.

Fonts themselves aren't really unicode or not, unicode tells what characters to be used. But yes, these fonts are multi-lingual. Also, FREE LEGAL DOWNLOAD LINK for Consolas.. MS approved.

Wow, Microsoft have done a great job with them... I like Segoe Print the best. Now if only they could get the font designers working on the main UI we'd be set!

Since when is Segoe UI a Microsoft font? It has shipped with Palm's VersaMail app for years.

Quote - (Rogue` @ Jun 5 2006, 16:32) [snapback]587576796[/snapback] Well I just installed the beta, and Calibri seems to display jap char's fine, think ive found my new mIRC font :happy: Calibri itself is pretty bare-bones. It doesn't contain any extra Unicode ranges aside from the standard stuff (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, punctuation and number forms). So it doesn't contain any CJK characters (the way Arial Unicode does). Windows just knows to get those characters from some other font. Unless they've changed it since the version i got, anyway.
