ch = Confoederatio Helvetica

Switzerland is also known as "Confoederatio Helvetica", therefore the abbreviation CH. "Confoederatio" stands for "confederation", "Helvetica" derives from the Latin word "Helvetier", the name of the people who lived in the area which became later Switzerland.

Then should I be as bold to assume that the font "Helvetica" is related to Switzerland somehow?

I suppose you could, but that would prolly make as much sense as saying that Rome (and the defunct Latin language) has something to do with Mexico and people in South America in general (Latinos...)

Haken, how about blocking image theft with htaccess?

HOW DO I STOP HOTLINKING AND BANDWIDTH THEFT?
You can stop servers from hotlinking your site's files by editing the .htaccess file in your site's root directory. (Consult your webhost on accessing your .htaccess file.)
Example: Your site url is www.example.com. To stop hotlinking images from an outside domain and display an image called nohotlink.jpg instead, use this code in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ HTTP_REFERER} !^ http://(www\.)?example\.com/ [NC
RewriteCond %{ HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ images/nohotlink.jpg [L]
To allow hotlinking images only if the REFERER (sic) is from a specific directory from your domain:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ HTTP_REFERER} !^ http://(www\.)?example\.com/dir/ [NC
RewriteCond %{ HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ images/nohotlink.jpg [L]
To stop hotlinking images from specific outside domains only, named badsite.net and badsite.com:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ HTTP_REFERER} ^ http://(www\.)?badsite\.net/ [NC,OR
RewriteCond %{ HTTP_REFERER} ^ http://(www\.)?badsite\.com/ [NC
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ images/nohotlink.jpg [L]
Limit bandwidth usage by returning a 403 forbidden code. Replace the last line of the previous examples with this line:
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ - [F]

ack. Might work if he uses Apache
on this site. But it's M/S stuff.

I thought it would be possible to block requests from a specific referrer address, even without extra software. No?

Haken,
A friend of mine used to have the same problem with a gallery she ran. She was able to find a CGI Script that would only show the picture if the request came from a certain address.
This would keep people from stealing your bandwidth. I will ask her about the script next time I talk to her.
