Not only one of them, but there are THREE OF THEM! THREE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF WING DINGS!! And a "Webrings" spinoff font!!!

I submit that of the 50 or so fonts in Word, that at least 50% of them have never ever been used once by any user on any of the billion or so computers currently running such software.

Yet, I am sure that Microsoft has some team of folks making thousands of dollars a month whose job it is to come up with new and exciting fonts.

edit. first mod here can make prove his worth and move this to the pit.

yes. It is stupid. I can think of no reason for it whatsoever. Especially not a reason for four of them.

<span style='font-family:papyrus'>It gives people a way of expressing themselves. Most of the exotic fonts are for advertisers anyway, not for financial geniuses like you.</span>
