I found this thread rather interesting, even if my font problems are probably in another realm. Could you document your problem & solution in the wiki? Of course. But I am wrapped up in work coming three weeks. So if afterwards is fine could you tell me the best way to prepare a document for the wiki?
Take your time. Either you do it yourself: create an account, make up some name for the page, try to access it and enter your text; if you don't want to dive into Wiki syntax, we'll care for the markup. Or you just post it to this list, and I'll pick it up (if I've some time).
I just tried to get my hands at the font: http://starling.rinet.ru/downl.php?lan=en#soft But the EXEs aren't self extracting ZIPs as I expected, but real installers (or something else), and I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment. I had the same problem on mac os x. I can send you the ttf files off-list if you are interested.
I'd appreciate that, please.
BTW if the fonts really are named "Palatino something" there may be trouble ahead, because Palatino is a trademark (that's why URW+ + names their version "Palladio"). I think the font is called Palatino Linostar. But I let the russians deal with the trademark problems.
Of course it's not your problem, but Hans is right: If you'd call a car "Daimler Bums" it would be a trademark infringement nevertheless... And I suspect they even took the code from the original Palatino fonts... Greetlings from Lake Constance!
