Re: You should add in a font update to Office Update packs.

Since there are hundreds of thousands of fonts available, you wouldn't want
them downloaded onto your system. And we won't even get into the issue of
how you determine whose font is downloaded, how the update is supposed to
know which ones you wanted/needed, etc.

And this comes from an admitted font-aholic. :-)
