Confused about fonts and text documents
Hi
I'm trying to help a Swedish friend out who is working on a computer which doesn't have Swedish fonts. We downloaded an ebook in Swedish but it isn't displaying well. At the moment, I'm thinking about installing Swedish fonts on to his computer but I have also realised that I am a bit confused about fonts and documents in general. It seems now that when I download an e book, there are no fonts but only instructions to the computer what to display (if the characters were downloaded, we wouldn't have a problem me thinks) This means that if I download the ebook first onto my computer which has Swedish fonts, and then send it on to him, it still wouldn't display ok. Am I right or just confused? Thanks in advance. Dave Neve |

Confused about fonts and text documents
I don't believe there's any such thing as a "Swedish" font. Any ordinary
modern Unicode font should easily display all the characters required for writing Swedish. If you apply Times New Roman to the text, does it become readable? -- Suzanne S.
