[FM Discuss] Modified PDF for MYOSA

[Rebecca Hargrave Malamud]

Hello -

Christopher and were successful in our OBJAVI experiments yesterday 
using the @font-face method and uploading the fonts to the Rural Design 
Collective server. I was somewhat surprised that these free font 
repositories don't allow linking to the actual free fonts especially 
since there is a precedent for linking to Javascript libraries for 
online display - that will prohibit use for many without their own 
method to upload fonts.

So it looks like we will be using Booki after all! I am a little 
concerned about the unsightly page breaks since there are so many screen 
captures in the book. I know we would have more control if we use 
PrinceXML rather than attempt to size images in FLOSS Manuals to get 
better results (something no doubt James would not want us to do since 
it would interfere with his output).

So we still have the illustrations to upload, plus some screen captures -

That would be impossible to do ... of course, I used to have a sticker 
on my computer that said "Whoever Dies With The Most Fonts Wins" :-)
