Dynamic Fonts - FAQ
A mail written to a user on his qs about web fonts.
It is really a problem for all of us who want to develop websites using dynamic fonts.
The browsers do react irratically. However we can't stop making websites and thus
have tried to overcome this problem for ourselves and for our clients.
You can handle this situation in following ways.
When we offer dynamic fonts to our customers, we also give them license to
distribute the TTF font files to their visitors. Thus if the visitor of the site can not
view the site properly in the dynamic font, he can still download the font and install it
on the local machine. Installing the font on the local machine is not as difficult these
days as it used to be earlier. All that the customer needs to do is copy the font file to
the Windows\Fonts folder and double click on the file. That's a one minute job.
Earlier it used to be a long procedure if you wanted to install the font in Windows
3.11 or Windows 95. But for Windows 98, this has become much easier. Thus for
someone using a latest browser, this is very easy. just see this logic below.
If the customer is using a latest browser, naturally he is not using OS as Win 95. And
if he is using Win 98 and above, all he needs to do to install the font is, copy - paste
it to the Windows\Fonts folder.
Secondly, we are the only font and Indian Language Software vendors who allow you
to distribute fonts to third party from your own site. All we need is that you do not
modify the file in any way, and expressly state on your web site that the fonts are
the property of IL Infotech Pvt Ltd and are licensed for your web site.
I have one more thing to share with you. Although I am making and selling dynamic
fonts, our viwe has always been that of helping people with knowledge and
technology. Normally no vendor would write a negative word about what he is
selling. However this is pure fact that I am presenting here.
The size of dynamic font PFR is about 25 KB. This PFR once downloaded, is available
in browser cache till the cache is deleted. As soon as the cache is deleted, the PFR
gets downloaded again. Now imagine the users who surf the net on a normal basis,
and guess how many times the cache must be getting deleted. Number of times !
Thus you are making your user download the PFR many times. Now if he has to
install the font, all he needs to do is download it once and install it. The size of the
TTF is about 50 KB. But that's one time. Now this is the reason we give you license
to distribute the font from your site.
I think now you should be convinced and I hope you will not say that you have
started loosing interest in our products because we just don't want to sell products
but want to support our customers with information updates.
We offer full support to web developers buying our prodcut Web Development Suite,
which can be bought from us at just Rs.2500/-. This includes :

Dear Sir,
In case of sesipcstr.org I have received your mail and forwarded to system
administrator for further action. I shall inform you about it when I get info from him
as it is not my regular server provider. he is Mr. Prashant Kanse's service provider.
In general, I wish to know more about following statement in your mail :
As regards problems with some browsers, I have already told you that the browser
developers have withdrawn support for dynamic fonts for the latest generation
browsers. Thus displaying dynamic fonts on browsers 6+ is a problem.
We are planning to launch a scheme for patsansthas and co-op banks to launch their
web site in Marathi at reasonable cost using ILInfotech's fonts. But it gets
problematic when more and more peoples switch to latest browsers. What option are
with you to overcome this problem?
Please help.
Regards,
For Smart Computers, Satara.
