[NTLUG:Discuss] If anybody cares

[Greg Edwards]

I've had font issues on Mageia 64 bit as well.  Other than the font 
complaining and sometimes not being able to do content entry I'm able to 
stay with Adobe for now.

This is another time where web designers and developers are selling the 
public short by ignoring standards in favor of MS specific targets.  It 
drives me crazy when I have to get on my MS workstation to view a 
website.  Adobe set the standard in this case now they're heading 
towards standard for MS only.
