I use about 200 for special projects for the clubs and businesses I deal with. None of these except times new roman seem to work with Windows 7. The variety of fonts that are included with Windows 7 does not support my current needs. Does anyone know where I can find a program that will convert or at least supply me with a decent variety of these cleartype fonts that will keep me active without having to retype all my projects using less than apealing fonts?

Besides, not sure béchamel sauce on hot-dogs is the best choice :) I’d agree with Steven, whatever béchamel sauce, you don’t replace one’s ketchuped hot-dog if that’s the way the cook wanted it.

Okay some do look better, but many sites I visit use certain fonts as the web-designer has sought to apply the best looking font (& compatible with as many systems as possible) to go with their design. Being a small time web designer, I need to be able to see the original design. It's a shame that there isn't a script that could allow one to turn on the fonts on a site basis.
