I want to use other fonts (other than the included tahoma, courier.etc) on my Pocket PC. Is there any way I can download them from? (as well as word art, WMP skins.etc). I was thinking, can I just copy the font files in the Windows directory on my desktop pc to the Pocket PC. Will they be compatible? Anyway, I'll try that.

On the same note, is it possible to change your font in MSN Messenger? I couldn't find any way to do so. Thnx.

You can definitely copy fonts from your PC to your Pocket PC and use them in any application that supports changing fonts. Windows Mobile 2003 has a Windows\Fonts folder you can just put the fonts in; Pocket PC 2002 doesn't have a Fonts folder, but you can create one in the Windows folder.

To download fonts, my non-Pocket PC site has a list of font Web sites. Go to the Web Site Creation section (http://links.svvg.biz#WEBSITES), then scroll down until you see the Fonts subsection.

Pocket Word doesn't support Word Art, I don't believe, but you can download Media Player skins (and themes and other such items) from many places. Check out the content section (http://www.svpocketpc.com#LINKS_CONTENT) of my Web site for a list of some places.
