Frequently Answered Questions Where can I find the Fonts you use? There are dozens of fonts in use all over the site. I can't remember what they're all called. To list them all would take forever, and this is a Planescape site, not a font resource. If I can find 'em online, it can't be that hard! Besides, I use a Mac, so I've converted all of 'em to Mac format for my own use.  The titles and much of the layout work and manipulation I do myself using Photoshop 3.0 with Extensis Phototools plugins and GraphicConverter 3.5. The latter is only available on the Macintosh. Animated GIFs are made using GifBuilder (again, a Mac-only program, though there are lots of PC-GIF animators out there). The Mimirs and metallic graphics are made by Jeremiah Golden using Truespace on a PC. Can you send me Stuff from Planescape books? No. I don't have time to scan and proof things from TSR books, even if it were legal. But you can now buy most PS stuff direct from the Mimir via the Mimir.Net Bookstore, no matter what country you're from. You can also order "out-of-print" items, though it's not guaranteed they'll always be available. Trust me, they're all worth the cash.  When are you adding [xxx] to the Mimir Site? If you reckon there's something missing from the site, chances are I'm either working on it now or have plans to add it soon. Some of the things that will be coming to the mimir in the next few months are magical items, spells, adventures, character classes and kits, fiends, and powers. Let me know if there's something you're dying to see here. The more requests, the higher it'll get up on the "to do" list. Any plans to make [xxx] into a Downloadable File? No. To make downloadable zip files of chunks of the site would take some time, as I'd have to reconfigure the HTML to account for graphics kept in other subdirectories. Then I'd have to constantly update these as all parts of the site get things added to them occasionally. In short, it would take me hours, and that's time I'd rather spend adding new material to the Mimir. Also, it'd mean visitors would just come here and download stuff, rather than stopping to explore the site and interact with it. One of the great things about the Mimir is that so many people have taken the time to send in things...if the site just became a great big FTP archive it'd lose some of that. Sorry, no. I don't do HTML. I use Claris Homepage 3.0, a wonderful Mac-and-PC homepage editor, a little like Microsoft Frontpage but more compatible. It does all the boring bits for me, leaving me to do the graphic design, editing and content writing. And that's the way I like it. One day I plan on getting Dreamweaver, and then you'll see something really cool on the Mimir :-) Trouble is, it costs £250, and I just don't stretch that far yet!
