Internet Explorer is just a disgusting example of what a browser should be and what it should do… It should be safe, secure, fast and compliant with current standards. All these words mean nothing to Internet Explorer.

Why is Microsoft still in this ‘race‘ anyway? They’re losing ground on every point of what an Internet browser is and how it should perform.

Microsoft is showing a lot of effort in a project that just isn’t happening. It’s like putting all this time and effort in to a sports car made of cheese, and your name is Ferrari; it may look real nice and have the name recognition, but it’s still cheesy and full of holes.

I was reading this story and decided to do my own tests and they were spot on…

If you do a lot of printing that you know that printer ink is costly.

In most cases 4 ink cartridges will have already bought your printer; in some cases twice.

So the goal becomes conserving ink and money- Enter ECOFONT. The Ecofont is based on the Vera Sans, an Open Source letter, and is available for both PC and MAC.

Once you have downloaded Ecofont you can install the font into your local fonts folder. The Ecofont is based on an Open Source font and is free to use. If you no longer want to use the Ecofont, you can remove it from your fonts folder without any problems.

Please note:
The font is called ‘Spranq_eco_sans_regular.ttf’.

The font has holes in the characters and by not filling the holes in the characters it saves x amount of ink for each character and that equates to about 20% less ink.

The characters don’t show/display with holes in them. The characters are so small  the ink will fill those holes simply by the ink spreading to the paper.

I idea is simple and if the font can maintain the readability then there’s no reason not to use it.

For those of you that is trying to save money, save the environment and stay inside you eco-environmental foot print; this is a good start.

Thanks for reading!

Enjoy.
