you're worried about the word "Police" in the URL, that's the Frenchword for Font. There's a cute multi-lingual pun on her main page -"Ouvrez! Police". Ouvrez means "Open Up!!"

on Archives for a list of hundreds of other free fonts.Note that the sample font images have been graphically enhanced. Likeall truetype fonts, they are only in black and white. - Herb

I didn't have any problems - I just DL'ed a couple that I didn't have - Try going first to this page

click on "Archives" and select the last one in the list, Juilliet2003.Then try to download again. Let me know what happens (and what versionof what browser you're using). It may be that it doesn't like going directly to the download page.

Very nice fonts Herb. Thank you. Had to stop and download them even though I'm supposed to be packing to catch a plane to Tasmania in a couple of hours. Have to get your priorities right (grin).

They WILL still be there when you get back - even months and years from now ... but I understand completely!

Have a great trip.

I just twigged what the problem is. My Norton Internet security is stopping the download window opening so instead I get to a lycos redirect window and then back to Bienvenue page. It works as soon as I disable the Norton. Not highly recommended but I have to do it sometimes with other applications.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for letting me know. Learn something new every day! Do you know what NIS setting stops the window from opening? Something to do with Java scripts or ???

Not sure but it may be just that its recognising something thats close to a suspect script?? Java is generally enabled on the default settings of NIS . Normally if theres a discrepancy with a site I get a pop up asking to permit/ block etc.

I have some problems on the Secrets of ... site. The main designs show but the freebie is generally not visible unless I disable NIS ???

There is a known conflict between NIS 2002 when the using Internet Explorer

6 and using a site which was optimized for 5.5. For intance I have to disable NIS to place an ad with Friday Ad. So whether something similar is happening I'm not sure. I'll have to ask my programmer son.

Uninstalling everything Norton will help greatly.

Just because it is popular & well-marketed does not make for reasons why everyone should use their products.

Better solutions, like Sygate's product for example, are available.

No probs at all.

Cheers.
