# Does XP
go freaky if you have more than 500 fonts? I've got 409 now...

*edit* Aaargh! Me and that last post have turned b3ta into a tech forum. Quick; be overly opnionated about everything!

# ME, 98, 95
all had a problem with anything over about 800 (depending on font contents)
so i would have thought XP would be better.
But i've not been able to find any reference yet.

# Welllllllll, loading fonts does
suck up memory at a quite frightening rate. It's probably a better idea to have a font repository on disk that you load and unload as needed.

# You'll need
Depends who you're hosted with.
Either
1) A server-side scripting language such as ASP, Perl, Python, PHP et cetera to allow you to store variables. For this, you really need to be administering your own server; not many third parties allow server side scripting in case you run crazy scripts that murder the server...
Or,
2) Some external company who do web polls that run in THEIR CGI-bins (i.e. not actually strictly within your site) - this will probably spam your site with adverts though. Some options are here.

It can't really be done through straight HTML/JavaScript; you need to be able to write the variables somewhere.

This site is produced by the Dial Media Group, who I have had an association with in the past. DMG also provide me with my hosting requirements, if that counts for anything. Finally, the entire shebang is desiged to help plug a book, so it is corporate and therefore evil, no matter how clever or funny it may be - but, FFS, it's got polar bears who are pirates - wouldn't you post it here?

TYCOON QUIZZED
Lothian and Borders Police have confirmed that no report has gone to the
Procurator Fiscal after millionaire Scots travel agent Martin Frutin was
quizzed as part of a child porn probe.

Frutin, 53, had his ukp750,000 Edinburgh home raided as part of an
enquiry into alleged child porn whilst he was in Thailand. Police
interviewed him on his return to Scotland at the beginning of February.

A police source said, "Some tapes we are studying are of a pornographic
nature. They had obviously been filmed in Thailand."

Mr Frutin did not return our phone call asking for his comments.
