Explain that one to me please....
Go after someone for what? The license clearly states that if you have IE you are authorized to use the Tahoma font. It doesn't specify that they must be on the same machine or reside on the same hard drive. My take is that it's worded that way because they are not that obsessed with a font! In a corporate environment, I would simply omit the Tahoma font. Like I said, I can live without it. Read the license sometime before you simply claim I'm wrong. The whole point of this thread was the XML spec for Visio anyway, not the stupid TT fonts. I gather that you concur about that license?
