Australian site went down, and the domain name was taken over by a hacker who restored older, archived webpages which link to obsolete versions of the fonts. ... " -- -- The older domain name, code2000 dot net, was recently re-registered via GoDaddy to
Subramaniam Gowdham of Belgium. That domain is hosted by "OVH SAS". Upon consideration, I don't know the motivation behind "mirroring" the archived web site under its older domain name. E-mail messages to my old address (linked by PayPal buttons and mentioned frequently in those archived pages) get bounced as undeliverable. Perhaps this should be phrased as "...was taken over by someone who restored older...".
574:). The style of writing is less convincing (the old JK always used plain text mail, the new JK uses html mail; the old JK always signed himself "Best regards", the new JK does does not use any closing greeting), but if it is not the real James Kass, can someone have hacked his a/c, or do ATT recycle old, unused accounts? The latest changes to the Code2000 font of SF (version dated 2011-12-22) are also rather odd (adding an unencoded character at U+037F, but only in one of the cmap tables). At any rate, there are still enough doubts not to change article yet. Damn, why can't we have CU on emails.

847:. Some of the changes are simple, like changing "Code 2000" to "Code2000". Other changes are about the current versions and release dates as well as the fonts' coverage. For instance, Code2000 is shown as covering several Unicode script ranges which it has never covered, and there are now additional scripts covered in the more recent versions of the fonts. I would be happy to post that text file here, separately, if you say so.

So... that's a weird time range. Like someone was using the page for SEO spam purposes, but not for the entire lifespan of the mirror. Maybe they are a spammer, but also just like fonts.

Hello and thank you! When I tried to sign up for the

Try to register AT&T account abroad, you will get "Registration not allowed. You must have a U.S. based IP address to register for an att.net email account." So if somebody doesn't have AT&T internet connection, or lives abroad, then he is cut off.
