Er...i thought he just explained it above?

I have yet to explain about EBCDIC. By the way, binary is a number system. I think it should be called binary instead of binary code. Smile

Not every program that needs font. It's everything that runs in your computer. The CPU processes information in terms of 0 and 1 bits which is the binary number system. Keep in mind that ASCII, EBCDIC and Unicode are just standards to represent symbols/characters as numbers since computer only understand numbers. On the other hand, binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal are number systems.
