Try, buy and download these fonts now! FF Meta Serif is a typeface designed by Erik Spiekermann, Christian Schwartz, Kris Sowersby. Actually I've been in touch with them, and a licence can be obtained which allows embedding of fonts in a Word file. However, it is limited to allow editing by only a single outside party. So collaboration with more than one other person is not possible (i.e. Where more than one person will edit the document over its lifetime). And here I'm talking about collaboration with an ill-defined group of outside people, so it's not as if purchasing additional licences is a realistic option. For embedding fonts see Basically what I need is a font that is embeddable, and which allows editing of the document content by an unlimited number of people over its lifetime. Perhaps I should just stick to Arial and be done with it. At least eveyone has that, even if it is dull. For me the look of a document is important; perhaps less so than its content but still important. Shame to have to stick to Arial when something else will look better. I didn't realise it would be so difficult to use a font which allowed third parties to see the font properly and also edit the document content. I can understand why (people / companies don't want everyone using their creations for nothing), but it kinda limits the options for the end user -- just going with the norm, like Arial. What about Calibri and Cambria -- I guess they are now widespread, at least on the Win platform. What if a Word document with these fonts is edited on a Mac platform though -- disaster strikes again? Thanks for the interesting link. Of course, to make it clear, what I'm after is a font that bears a resemblance to but is not a rip-off of Meta!
