Well, after using both Macs and PC's in classes at my University, i'll
just say that *IMHO*, neither platform is better than the other (in fact,
i remember the Macs crashing a lot more than the PC's did). I'll use
either, but I like PC's a little more. And that's that :).
And on the original topic: My email program would probably mangle emails
in another font. I've noticed that within the system (we use an Intranet
program called "First Class"), you can do fancy fonts, but for outside
emails, it gets set to something like Arial automatically. So, the mail
would get mangled. However, i can do special characters like: ç, ñ, â, ö
and the like, but i dont think it would read emails in that IPA font
correctly.
