-	Is {{pl\|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:OptimisticFool/Font_Name_List&diff=543841&oldid=543822&rcid=500985 this link}} to {{pl\|l=http://www.sofontes.com.br/en/Futura-Lt-BT-Light/download/10809 the light futura}} the adequate one? I didn't add it cuz it was Furuta Lt BT '''Light''' and not ''Furuta Lt BT'' thus likely making them slightly different. (Similar with {{pl\|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:OptimisticFool/Font_Name_List&diff=543843&oldid=543841&rcid=500987 this edit}}.) Are they the same font? If not what are the differences and are they significant enough to warrant removal and/or the search for a better sample? --[[User:Stux\|Stux]] 23:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
-	:Web sites don't always list the name of the font as it appears after installation. Words like "Plain" and "Regular" are often thrown in for example, but don't actually appear that way in Wordpad or whatever. I check every link I put on the page to make sure its name appears correctly after it's fully installed, and I'll check your links as I go to make sure they are correct as well. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
-	::Listen, hey, I forgot to say thanks for the help. Even though you haven't been able to compare the fonts you're finding to any samples, I expect the ones you've found will have about a 99% accuracy rate and will save me a lot of time. Being able to just click a link to download a font saves me time on the searching side of things, plus I really find that plainlinks template (even as simplified as it is) to be annoying to type. (I can never seem to hit that equals sign on the first try, dang it!) Plus, it's one less thing to make sure I have typed right when I reach for the "Save page" button. So, really, thanks a million. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
-	:::Yes 99% accuracy! That means I must find 100 links before one of them must fail! :S Well, I don't think that my accuracy rate will be that high but I'll do my best! I'll also be a bit more lenient when including links. Actually here's another quesiton: some fonts have "<nowiki><font name></nowiki> plain 1.0" or "<nowiki><font name></nowiki> 1.0" appended to them. Do you want links to those too? As for the {{tl\|p}} template, it's really no big deal, you just have to establish a {{pl\|l=http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=rhythm rhythm}} with your fingers. :) I hope I'll resume work on it sometime later this weekend. --[[User:Stux\|Stux]] 17:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
-	::::Yeah, anything with "regular" "plain" or version numbers are usually pretty safe to assume, especially since I'll be checking them as I go anyway. One big favor I'd ask is that you specifically let me know if you find a link to a font that I've already described in the table. I don't give up easily when looking for a link, so if you really do find a link that looks good, I'd like to make sure it wasn't one I passed on already because it was the wrong font. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 00:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
