Weft (font download) is considered a security risk (waiting to be exploited)
- believe most corporate firewalls (or IE security settings) will (or should) block it
--
| And, WEFT requires the visitor to grant permission to download the font.
| Reckon how many do?
|
| WEFT only works in IE browsers, and many people have reported it's often
| quite quirky.
|
| I don't even allow it to ask me. I keep it turned off.

| | | IMHO
| | the WEFT is a very cool and FREE tool. I've used it several times with
| good
| | results (sort of). I've tried viewing pages utilizing it on a number of
| | different computers and haven't been prompted about downloading anything.
| | it just all the sudden changes the fonts on the screen. (that's how I know
| I
| | did it right) the weft is a funny tool and it's not as easy to get it to
| | work as one might think. if you utilize it on different sites it seems
| you
| | must tell it the root domain you want it to function from or it won't
| work.
| | (I guess I should read the docs on it but I don't use it all that much.)
| | there's a recent one here:
