Beware of Mac:MSN
Posted May 16th, 2003 @ 11:03pm by Erik J. Barzeski
I installed MSN today thinking I might be able to sneak a peek at the next version of IE. Unfortunately, I don't feel like signing up for the two month free subscription, so I won't be doing that.
What I will be doing, however, is restoring my old versions of these fonts:
Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Andale Mono Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Arial Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Arial Black Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Arial Narrow Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Arial Rounded Bold Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Brush Script Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Century Gothic Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Comic Sans MS Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Copperplate Gothic Bold Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Copperplate Gothic Light Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Courier New Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Curlz MT Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Edwardian Script ITC Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Georgia Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Impact Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Lucida Handwriting Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Monotype Sorts Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Tahoma Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Times New Roman Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Trebuchet MS Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Verdana Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Webdings Installed Gaia:Library:Fonts:Wingdings
Verdana and Arial in particular (updated to version 2.9x from version 2.6x) looked horribly screwed up, particularly in Safari (v78, v74, whatever). Luckily I back up nightly, so I was able to "roll back" my changes.

There's a new product idea for ya: a startup item that detects any attempt to install Comic Sans on yr computer, and thwarts it.
