Can eBay see hidden Font?

[boringguy]

Some font cannot be deleted, just hide. So can ebay see them?

[rsot]

In the listing you mean?

[boringguy]

No, i meant one of the way to prevent linking as ebay can see the type of font installed on pc

[topofthepops]

ebay does not allow font or it will remove listings

I must be misunderstanding but do you mean different fonts as in the
type of font you use in text? or do you mean something different?

oh linking by font alone - I highly doubt it - there are 1000s of fonts out there - ppl use innovative fonts and original stuff all the time. I wouldn't really think this plays a part at all.

In fact, all my accounts use pretty much the same font - haven't been linked by that

Ebay doesn't link via Fonts.

I'm just trying to reduce the possible links... I have a few specific fonts installed that i doubt anyone else is using the same combination

A manual review might

[JamesNorth101]

If they tracked fonts and other browser data (which I have not seen evidence for) then having some very rare fonts could cause an issue

The way around it would be to rename them as common fonts and delete the common fonts you do not use

I think op is talking about browser fingerprinting. With browser fingerprinting you can see what fonts are applied to the Pc. From what I see I do not think eBay is using broswer fingerprinting so I don't think it's something you need to worry about at this point in time.

dont have special fonts on your computer, eg, do not download any extras, just have the ones that came with it, tend to be same as alot of users then.
