Post title: True Fonts; Times New Roman and Courrier New

Thanks. I think it is a good topic to analyze it in BA in August; may be we will get our input of our Spanish colleagues in case they face difficulties with the "ene" () character. Personally, I doubt if they are "ene" problems but just to have the whole topic completed. So, thanks for your input and the discussion we have had that I have found it particularly constructive.

Powwow: Kraków - Poland | Yes, they are

But the font used is defined by the website, not by your computer.
This is not a good place to discuss such issues, so I would suggest we continue during the next conference :-)

Hi Jerzy; Are Times New Roman and Courrier New TrueType fonts? I checked with my Internet options and I have found that I have the following Fonts settings: Language scripts: Greek, Web Page font: Times New Roman, Plain text font: Courrier new.

Post title: Not all screen fonts are TT

For example the font used by Explorer is often MS Sans Serif, which is not a TT, but only a screen font.

TT - and even PostScrit (especially when Adobe TypeManager is used; however not necessary in Windows XP, but usefull) - fonts look and print the same.
This is true for word processors, such as Word, or for DTP programs, but not necessarily for text editors or Internet tools

As far as I know Windows TrueType fonts should look the same when printed and displayed.

You can see the best discussion of how to enter them here:

And currently Windows use TrueType. OpenType will be used in the next release (now codenamed "Avalon"). [url removed]

Post title: Ehm, please dont mix print fonts and screen fonts

Even if you are able to print any language using the system fonts Arial, Courier New and Times New Roman in Windows XP or to see the proper characters when opening text in Word, you will NOT be able to see Polish, Russian and Greek in one page in Internet Explorer, unless the page is coded in unicode. You would need to insert the polish characters here as Unicode - and I must admit, I dont know how to do that. The characters, which Robert has written here, are coded as Windows CP 1250, not as unicode. If you want to see them right, you need to advise your Internet Explorer to use the Middle Europe (Windows) encoding.
Jerzy

BTW, Unicode compatible fonts are called OpenType. These are at least Arial, CN and TNR at any Windows XP machine.

I the text above, Latin equivalents are displayed. I guess you need appropriate fonts (and NT line Windows: NT, 2000, XP, 2003 that are Unicode-compatible) to display them.

Hi again, Dorota. I hope that you will be able to read the polish letter in "dziekuje" as even if I'm changing the Windows code it appears as a kappa (Greek k).

especially Magda for luring us to the wonderful city of Krakow and her perfect organisation, Jerzy for his valuable support. And, of course, Henry - who by his presence showed once more that he feels really involved in the ProZ-community. Hope to see (some of) you in BA next year.

Thank you Magda, Henry, Robert, Jerzy and all the Prozaks (as they say in Polish) who are posting their pictures. If I survive the Polish winter and feel like having a taste of the South American one, I'll definitely be in Buenos Aires.
By the way, I am still in Cracow.

That was a really fantastic conference with complete cover of most of the encountered problems as well as of the main technical aspects regarding the CAT tools Wordfast and Trados. Congratulations to the organizing committee and specially to Magda that excel herself by making sure that everything was running properly. That was my first Proz.com conference, I was really satisfied and I'm looking forward to participate in the coming one, end of August 2006, in Buenos Aires. See you there...
