Yes. That’s what I’ve been saying for a while. Without VC money to subsidize it, AI is fucking expensive. Literally the only reason anyone is paying for it is because it’s so cheap it’s barely worth it. Once the price goes up 10x, nobody’s gonna be interested.
Technically, Tahoma was first distributed with Office 97 in Nov 1996, and it first became the default UI font in Dec 1999 with Windows 2000, but in regards to consumer oriented Windows, it became the default UI font in Aug 2001 with Windows XP.
It very much was not. Arial has never been a default UI font on Windows, and MS Sans Serif was replaced by Tahoma as the default in 2001. Arial has been a default document font though, so it could have been Arial.
The likelihood of this being the correct answer is very small. By 2007, MS San Serif had been replaced by Tahoma, and then Tahoma had been replaced by Segoe UI. So MS San Serif hadn’t been used prominently by Microsoft for almost a decade.
It is possible since MSN Messenger was released in 1999, so before MS switched to using Tahoma as their default font, but I highly doubt MSN Messenger didn’t use the system’s default font, and I even more highly doubt that if they didn’t use the default font, that they didn’t update their font for almost a decade.
I think it just used the system UI font, so probably Segoe UI, which was pretty new at the time and Microsoft loved to use it.
(Specifically on Windows Vista and later. On Windows XP, it would still have been Tahoma.)
If it used the default document font for the chat window (which is likely), then it would be Arial in Windows XP, and either Segoe UI or Calibri in Vista and later.
Windows. I get it, Windows sucks. I’ve been saying that since Vista. Fucking leave it already. “Oooh, I can’t. I play Frexus Dilectin 2: Rogue of the Latrine, and that has kernel level anticheat.” Well, sucks to suck. Quit bitchin and feel bad about your life decisions in the corner, quietly.
I don’t know why you have trouble with this. Everything runs through the same SSL protected connection. Router -> Nginx Proxy Manager w/ TLS -> Jellyfin.
I discovered that decades ago. I’ve just been screaming into the void ever since.
