Re: Kernel mode fonts
Perhaps it's for the same reason a certain Mr. L. Torvalds has included support for f*cking *game pads* in his own, little-used kernel? (I forget its name. Minux? Torix? It's got an 'x' in it somewhere.)
But please, do continue with your rant, O Great Sage! I'm sure no other OS has ever included code designed in an era when dial-up Internet access from home was still a novelty even for most IT experts.
