Thanks kip.

Those who would like a portable version of MouseShade, run the installer, copy mouseshade.exe and mouseshade.hlp to a folder of your choice, and then completely uninstall the program. Run the .exe file. MouseShade will save the your settings in the application folder.

The Ultimate Steal??? I'd rather steal OpenOffice 

BTW, this promo program was offered in Australia earlier this year as a pilot scheme but I don't think it's still available for Aussies. Anyway there is no link for Australia.

What I find worrisome is that users' security tools (FW, Intrusion Detection etc.) did not alert/prompt about this stealth install.

given the nature of the program, this could well be a false positive..

It's the setup program that does that, not MouseShade 2.

Here's a useful Font properties extension from Microsoft.

This extension adds several new property tabs to this properties dialog box. These include information relating to font origination and copyright, the type sizes to which hinting and smoothing are applied, and the code pages supported by extended character sets.

Courier New 9pt ftw..

I've started using Consolas, not bad..
Check out Using Consolas as the Windows Console Font from Scott Hanselman's Computer Zen site/blog/thing.

-mitzevo (September 13, 2007, 06:16 AM)

Download PowerPoint Viewer 2007. Candara, Consolas, Calibri, Cambria, Constantia and Corbel fonts come with it. Once installed, these fonts will become available for use on your system. You could remove (uninstall) the viewer afterwards.
