Microsoft has put considerable effort into solving the problems involved in international typography, document portability and displaying fonts on the screen.
The benefits of this work can be seen in the international TrueType fonts supplied with Windows 95, the font smoothing feature included with the Windows 95 Plus! pack, and the font embedding technology supported by Microsoft Office applications.
Microsoft Internet Explorer allows Web site designers to specify which TrueType fonts should be used to display their pages. Microsoft is now working on bringing a set of core fonts optimized for screen display to the World Wide Web. For the first time, designers and users running Microsoft Internet Explorer or other font enhanced browsers can rely on these Web fonts to view Web pages exactly as they were intended to be seen.
