:)  Um, I'll send you an email with Verdana attached :P  Its a Microsoft
freeware typeface.

Does it work in X?

Ok.  And I probably should know this, but what is lynx?

[ Using Apache to handle multiple languages. ]

What are the advantages of this system over having each language with their
own subdirectory?

You get a translated page if it is translated, otherwise you
get an English one.

Your suggestion means that you get nothing if people get to
a page that isn't translated yet.

[ Separate catalogs for each language. ]

Not a bad idea, except that it means that the translators
have to translate every page before the translation can be
used.

Could you please explain the meaning of that further?

Suppose we have the pages "/english/index.html" and
"/english/download.html" in English, which refer to each
other.

If I only get around to translate "/english/index.html" to
"/dansk/index.html" then there will be a dead link pointing
to "/dansk/download.html".

We could also use plain gzipped Postscript. The compression
is equivalent to the one Acrobat performs and the tools are
free.

I don't think that my (Win98) PC provides a reader for gzipped postscript.

It is probably not a part of the official Win98
distribution, but you can get a PostScript viewer at
<URL:http://www.cs.wisc.edu/%7Eghost/> and your browser
should be able to handle gzip (otherwise Apache will
automagically uncompress it for you).

There should be PostScript "printer" drivers included in you
Win98 distribution.

Could we do both formats?

No problem.

I assume the gzipped postscript is leaning more toward use on Unix
workstations, right?

Could be.

Acrobat seems to be the standard for Windows.

Probably because you can pay for it. :-)


Play well,

Jacob
