I am unable to get intelligent font matching to work. I used a @font-face
with a Panose-1 descriptor. I tried it with both Internet Explorer 6 and
Firefox on Windows 98 SE. The Panose numbers are from the Windows Registry
key HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\Software\Mi crosoft\Shared Tools\Panose. I am unsure
if I made a coding error, or if the browsers do not support intelligent font
matching, or if there is some other cause.
In the example shown below, in the @font-face for MadeUpName, the Panose-1
numbers are from the Courier New font. I was hoping that Line 1 would be
printed in Courier New. But with both browsers, it actually prints in the
default font, which is Times New Roman.
