Really petty point here - that was Javascript not Java. They are very
different (completely - honest).

Stopping theft of graphics is server side I would think though, so
perhaps you mean Java there? (but you can use Javascript on the server
too can't you?) I don't have any experience of this but I understand you
use the http referer reference or something similar?

I'm going to combine the other post here, to save emails

I have to admit to being unadventurous with fonts. I usually use
Helvetica, (followed by the sans-serif generic) just because I haven't
really experimented yet.
