Subject: thanks for testing HTML fonts: results

thanks to one and all who indulged me and tested fonts created for the
HTML environment, exploiting the <font face> feature.
results pretty much what expected. latest netscape and explorer worked
fine, but ancient versions didn't support it. other browsers failed,
but maybe that's not surprising. also, someone reported difficulties
with upgraded explorer: not sure what that might mean.
we're in a netscape environment at u of t, so I suppose as long as the
latest versions of netscape work, we're in business. since this works
with hebrew, we can now extend it to any font we want while preserving
the functionality of html. very exciting, until Unicode comes along.
thanks again.
