Default Can someone with XP do me a quick favour?
Basically Vista doesnt come with the futura fonts images/smilies/mad.gif, and when I had XP I used these fonts for my (ambitious!) web design ideas.
So can someone with XP upload their futura fonts (all of them, I think there's about 4 or 5) to a hosting website so I can nick them?

Many Thanks

P.S. Ive tried looking for them online, but all of the free font places arent actually free!images/smilies/blink.gif

Actually I might have them, if you can tell me what they're called.

Im pretty sure the fonts called Futura, and theres variations of them like: heavy, medium and light.

Im pretty sure they come with XP, coz when I was at work they set up new HP's (without office on them) and I 'nicked' them from there before, but Ive formatted my PC since then and I forgot to save them images/smilies/sad.gif

i've looked and i don't have them on my XP (OEM version though). sounds like it was something added by HP. but after some googling i found this page with free downloads

Just a side note: if the font is only available in Windows XP, wouldn't that make it a poor choice for web design? images/smilies/think.gif

Why would it? It all depends on the design, as long as it suits the style who cares where else the font is used. You can make great designs with any type of font.

Plus your computer (im guessing!) doesnt need the font to view it online.

i think he meant, that web-pages which use that font can only be displayed correctly on machines with that font installed (so only win-xp-machines, which have that font installed)

but you can't just use fonts in texts. It can be used in graphics as well... and then it doesn't matter, whether you have the font installed or not.

btw. i have winxp pro with ms-office 2003 and haven't got the font...

That's what I meant. I thought you were going to use the font for the site's text, which would mess up the formatting for anyone who didn't have the font installed. I didn't stop to think that you could have been planning to use it for images.

Bingo! My Vista came with all the Futura font (Bk, Hv, Lt, Md). I get MS office for free through my uni.
