well tbf, somehow their cloud fonts at least fixes a big problem.
if you are 365 subscriber and deal with people on windows who create word documents your online experience will lack, because of the missing calibri font. this will at least fix it.
I'm also pretty sure that word/excel/powerpoint/outlook for linux will be a big seller.
- yummypaint 5y agoSo you're saying Microsoft can't even get its own existing fonts to work correctly across it's own products?
- merb 5y agowell at the moment if a font does not exist on your system, it goes through their cloud fonts endpoint. consider you are on a mac with no office suite installed and want to use "Blackadder ITC" it will call: GET https://fs.microsoft.com/fs/4.9/rawguids/35330309812 https://fs.microsoft.com/fs/4.9/rawguids/35330309812 which is basically the ttf file for blackadder itc. btw. there is also a list endpoint with all the "guids": https://fs.microsoft.com/fs/4.9/listAll.json https://fs.microsoft.com/fs/4.9/listAll.json (but it's encoded, so that you can't download all of them as easily)
