[News] Microsoft Monopolises on Fonts

Perspective:  Microsoft's forgotten monopoly

,----[ Quote ]
| The story of how Microsoft used its monopoly in operating systems to
| acquire a dominant position in office applications and browsers has
| often been told. But there's another Microsoft monopoly that's rarely
| mentioned, even though most of us see it every day.
| 
| Microsoft's fonts are used to display most Web pages on the planet.
| Even Linux and Mac users, who often have fled Windows to avoid dependence 
| on Microsoft, read most of their content using Microsoft fonts.
