Create font objects

dialog

Font object location
On this screen you should enter the full ftp, http, gopher or file location where you want the font objects to be created.

Note: Most Web servers won't let you upload files using http. In many cases it's easier to specify a location on a local drive and use other tools to copy the font objects to your server. If you do this you'll need to alter the code that links the font object to the page.

Allowed roots - URL binding
Have you ever created original GIFs and JPEGs for your site, only to discover weeks later that someone has been reusing them on their site without your permission? Have you ever thought how great it would be if your images could somehow be tied to your site's address so that they couldn't be reused in this way? Tying or 'binding' a GIF to a particular Web site URL isn't yet possible, but URL binding is a feature, and W3C mandated requirement, for font objects distributed over the Web.
Use the 'Mirror Sites' button to add as many root addresses as necessary. If your pages are accessed from an address below 'http://www.microsoft.com/' you would enter this as an allowed root. You should also add the root addresses of any mirror sites, test sites, or Intranet sites where these pages might be posted.
If you want to be able to access your pages from a local or mapped network disk for test purposes, include 'file://c:\' (substituting 'c:' for the correct drive) as a mirror site.
You need to specify the root address of pages that will link to the font objects. When a page links to a font object, Internet Explorer will not use the font object unless the URL of the page matches one of the allowed roots. This is an important security precaution designed to stop other sites from linking to font objects you've created.
