  1. Why would you want to have so many fonts?

    Imagine you would have all the fonts from http://www.dafont.com, that are around 8500 fonts.

    (1) It would slow down your system immensely. I don't know how long it takes to load a font, but I believe loading 8500 fonts will cost a disturbingly long time

    (2) At 70kB per font file, and in general 2 or 3 font files per font (bold, cursive, etc.), this is almost 1.5GB of fonts. Personally, I know better uses for my bandwidth and storage...

    (3) If you use 2 new fonts every day, which is very unlikely, you will need over 11 years to use all these fonts.

    (4) Don't overestimate the importance of fonts. Everyone involved in graphics editing or webdesign will tell you the same: having too many fonts in one image/website gives an unprofessional impression. Moreover, you can do almost everything with the basic fonts you already have. In the maybe 5 years I've been doing things like this, I have downloaded maybe 10 fonts (like 1 gothic font, 1 eroded font, 1 lcd-digits font etc.).

  2. Okay, my German isn't very good (although I learned it three years in school), so I'll give it a try with pictures...

    This is how a transparant sphere would look like:

    But the force field is not a sphere, but just a shell, so it would look like:

    As you can see the darker part is on the outside, not on the inside. Now for the forcefield you can do the same but with a color you like.

    @BoltBait: I guess that's the most useful phrase in German :)

    The image editor Paint.NET offers all the options a medium user could need. The software is free, but the creators are always happy with a donation.

    The program has several advanced features, like working with layers, and various effects. U can rotate in 3D, there are noise-effects and radial blur. New in the previous version was that at least Service Pack 2 had to be installed on XP-computers. Also, new image effects were introduced. Besides that, the program reads and stores the DPI-settings correctly.

    Furthermore, Paint.NET has an integrated update function, a very nice tool to draw lines and curves, and supports different languages. The application can handle BMP, GIF, JPEG, TIFF and TGA. The interface is very easy-to-use.

    ...(some more stuff about what was new in version 3, multiple document interface etc.)

    (Sorry for the sloppy translation, I'm not so good at english...)
