Hi folks,
This looks like a good product that could help my newly designed pages be viewed as I intend them. I used Marker Felt (Unix font) for headlines (http://www.twopeguys.com) and designated Comic Sans as a backup font. Mac users see the MArker Felt font face, but Windows and Linux users do not.
Will I be able to use WEFT on my Mac to create an EOT file of this font?
If not, will I be able to use Virtual PC to run WEFT and create an EOT file of the Mac font?
Or is there a Windows specific font comparable to Marker Felt of which I can create an EOT file?

Thanks in advance for your kind responses.

Hi Prabudh,
Thanks. I checked the release notes. But I didn't see an answer to my query. Let's assume I install WEFT on Windows XP via my Virtual PC. As I understand how WEFT works, upon opening, WEFT would list all my windows fonts. Then I would create an EOT file - but the font I want to create an EOT of is a MAc font - Does WEFT read those font files? I mean it's a Mac font on a Windows interface...
