Please do understand how things work and what is needed to make it work and what has been said before agreeing/disagreeing to something...

Concearning the privacy, I was not talking about a plugin which both you and your contact need to install, and this wasn't the initial request either from the OP. A plugin you install which detects if the contact has something or not IS a privacy breach!

rompom7, what you're talking about is a different issue. In your suggestion both the contact and you need to have the same plugin. These two plugins communicate to eachother and the contact do have some saying in what is communicated. As you can see that is a total different situation concearning privacy.

As for the functionality (in parctice) of a plugin which both you and your contact need: If your contact is able to install and use a plugin like that, he sure would be able to right click on a downloaded font and select the menu item "install font".

The OP initially requested this mostly because of the noobness of his contacts. Solving this by letting those contacts install Messenger Plus! and additional plugin(s) and configure them all isn't that good of a solution for this situation.

Even if such a plugin would be made, it would require to automatically handle fontsearching, filehandling, and sending/recieving files over a messenger connection or even P2P method. All this is easy to say but hard to pull of in a secure way and proper manner. Also take in account that, first of all, transferring files like that takes time. This means that the result will not be visible immediatly. And second, the conversation must be ended before the font can be switched and shown. And there would be other disadvantages also like noticing font changes is almost impossible (which is a key in this plugin).

The only benefit from such a plugin would be that you wont be installing fonts manually (as if that's so hard; it takes 2 clicks).

All this considdered, don't get too much high hopes for such a plugin, unless someone here is really really bored to make this. And in that case the plugin won't be as perfect as it should...

PS: above all, I really don't see the practical need for using fonts all the time which nobody has. Almost always these fonts are looking to "crap", "annoying", "overrated", "etc..." and only people with Messenger Plus! AND this plugin will be able to see them after they have waited to download this font. There are hundreds of fonts you can choose from which almost all people have preinstalled on their system, use them...

PSS: note that I'm not saying it is totaly impossible, but it is very hard to do and the result will not be a practical solution for the OP's request.
