as an exercise in html abuse, i’ve written a program that bitmaps a font with html tables. it’s based on powazek’s bitbet font.

guaranteed not to work in lynx.

yes, it’s utterly useless. that’s what made it fun to write. of course i could probably patent it and sell it to some stupid startup company as a copyright protection scheme (if you are paranoid that someone might <gasp> copy and paste text off your site, you can just do it this way). in that case, if anyone wrote a program that parsed the html code and got the text back from it, they would be violating the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and could go to jail. laws are stupid.
