I think the whole privacy card is being over played. Especially in this case, it wouldn't see
all the fonts you have, just the ones that your contact has intalled as well.
And if you don't want the people to even do that DON'T INSTALL THE PLUGIN!
Or if you have super secret special fonts that if anyone else knows about the world will self combust, you could tell the plugin to ignore or disable the use of that font.
Honestly, it's a font... It's not like they mean anything.
Here is my idea for the plugin, for the overzealous privacy paranoids
The first time you run Messenger with the plugin it asks you to select fonts you don't want your contacts seeing. And runs the configuration window.
Then if you want to use a custom font, you type /xfont <Font Name> in the contact window. The contact gets a prompt saying: -
quote:
<Contact> is asking if you have the font <Font Name> installed, It appears you do (or do not depending if they have it or not) have this font installed. Tell the contact:
'No I don't have it'
'Yes I do have it'
'Yes to all the fonts I do have'
'No to all'
The above could also be configured through a configuration window so you don't get annoying popups all the time.
If the person doesn't have the font it prompts them and if they accept it puts the font in the "Plugins/FontPlugin/Fonts" folder in your installation directory, runs a preview screen of the font asking if you would like to install this font. It can only accept and install .ttf, .ttc or .fon files.
If they do not accept the contact will see the default Arial font.
