Core fonts for the Web was a project started by Microsoft in 1996 to create a standard pack of fonts for the Internet. It was terminated in 2002. It included the proprietary fonts Andale Mono, Arial, Arial Black, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Times New Roman, Trebuchet MS, Verdana and Webdings, all of them in TrueType font format packaged in executable files (".exe") for Microsoft Windows and in BinHexed Stuff-It archives (".sit.hqx") for Macintosh. These packages were published as freeware under a proprietary license imposing some restrictions on usage and distribution. They are still available from some third-party websites. The project included some of the latest TrueType versions of the fonts available in 2002. Updated versions of the fonts released in following years were not published as freeware and are usually available only after purchasing a license or as a part of some commercial products.

Famous quotes containing the words core and/or web:
“The ideal of men and women sharing equally in parenting and working is a vision still. What would it be like if women and men were less different from each other, if our worlds were not so foreign? A male friend who shares daily parenting told me that he knows at his very core what his wife’s loving for their daughter feels like, and that this knowing creates a stronger bond between them.”
—Anonymous Mother. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 6 (1978)
“With as little a web as this will I ensnare as great a fly as Cassio.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
