"What you see is what they get"
TrueDoc technology from Bitstream for fonts dynamically loaded and displayed in Web pages
by the browser, using Dynamic HTML/CSS format and Portable Font Resource (.pfr) files.
This technology aims to provide web authors ways to create pages using the fonts they
have on their systems, with the assurance that the text will display in a
browser with its font formatting intact, independently of
default fonts that users have installed in their systems.
The TrueDoc technology is natively supported by Netscape Communicator 4Win,
but there are some differences in its support by Internet Explorer 4.
