Description Jonathan Gardner 2000-02-23 02:00:00 UTC
The font server is insisting that True Type fonts use underscores in their
names rather than spaces. Ordinarily this isn't noticed, but when a webpage
calls for a multi word True Type font it's not displayed correctly.

The url above will display the True Type font "comic sans ms" on computers
running Windows, and it used to display it for me when I used Xfstt. If you
look at http://jwg.homepage.com/index.html you will see the font, but only
because I added "comic_sans_ms" to the font path.
