[rant] Can anyone explain to me, first of all, *who* made the wingdings and webdings fonts? And why have they been included with every release of windows, and almost every major operating system? Is it
me, or is this font a complete waste of time?

I couldn''t find any info on its creator or why it was made. It''s a mystery!

Who would admit to it?

I don''t know. Maybe someone needed a font that had a whole bunch of symbols or something? Typing something on the horoscope or something like that. In that case, it stops you from needing images. Not like its easy to find all the characters you want, of course.

Wait... Why am I defending Wingdings?

I''ll stop now.

Hmm... like in the Even Stevens episode where Beans writes his report in the Wierd Fonts font because he thinks its cool, so they think he''s an alien and it''s his manifest to take over the world. Then when he explains that he used the Wierd Fonts font, they siad "I always wondered why that font was there..."

Yea, I''m a dork. But at least I don''t watch Yu-Gi-Oh or crazy anime cartoons (i think i can count on it that you guys dont, do you) (damn, ill get flamed for this paragraph).

I''ve been known to watch an Even Stevens episode or two, mainly because I think the actress who plays Ren is pretty damn hot.

Please don''t tell me "Even Stevens" is another one of those terrible shows on NBC.

Don''t worry, it''s not. It''s another one of those terrible shows on the Disney Channel.

Holy fuck you guys know what I''m talking about. No Erunama... you better not be saying the truth. She is so damn sueper-not. There''s sueper-hot and sueper-not. She falls under the latter category...

Must... resist...

Even Stevens is excellent, in my opinion. The actor who plays Louis is absolutely incredible- his voice and body language exactly suit his character.

i don''t know of a "i love New York" one, but there is a very creepy one with the opposite message: type 911NY in wingdings
note: it might not work, depending on ur version of wingdings

It was Q33NY, and it has no significance. I''m also fairly sure there''s only one version of wingdings.

evil sausage, it's webdings.
