Hey, is there any way (computer related)..

[FrostGiant]

to take the fonts from my computer at work and load em on my home puter? There's a font I want that's on this one but aint at home and I can't find it anywhere for free.

 

[avi]

you on a PC?

 

[chupe666]

yeah- on pc, can't you just copy the WINNT\Fonts directory?

 

[avi]

yeah exactly what chupe said

 

[FrostGiant]

Yes, pc. But what do I copy it too? No burner, I don't want to go and buy a floppy. I'll feel like such a loser. Could I just email the font I want to my home puter?

 

[goatschool]

what you describe there is impossible!

 

[goatschool]

fonts are hardwired into the keyboard!

 

[FalseTodd]

Yes email.
Or better yet, register a domain name, get some web space, and then go home and run an FTP server...and...

 

[chupe666]

sure, try it. just put it in the same spot. i was afraid it'd be like some fancy photoshop font thing or something.

 

[goatschool]

riposte on you! the poor beast will die without during such a procedure! without fonts, it will never be the same, and neither will yours—thus abusing two lives!

 

[FrostGiant]

If fonts are hardwired into the keyboard then how come you can buy them over the internet?

 

[chupe666]

fonts are hardwired into the keyboard!

oh, wait. this is ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
if you try and email it, you will receive a phone call saying you have 7 days to delete it.

 

[goatschool]

those are nigerian scam font artists!

 

[FrostGiant]

Along with an email from UM saying you have to donate I suppose.

 

[goatschool]

where is xfer? he's the one that originally fought (and lost) for font (con)soliditaries!

 

[goatschool]

i hear that if you twirl around 12 times in front of the mirror at midnight while sniffing "fasting tea" and dabbing the ink of any hearst newspaper on your tongue, upon the 13th spin a haunted font will appear in your keyboard...

 

[FalseTodd]

Dude, that's not even remotely true.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

oh man I love you goatshool

 

[FrostGiant]

So basically you're saying that on the 13th spin you hit the caps lock?

 

[avi]

unless it's too big of a file for email, there shouldn't be a problem
