<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>I coudnt get the webfont thing to work, so just went with gif and jpg piks uv the text. Kind uv a hassle, but it ensurez that everybody will see it correctly. If youre worried that the pik text iz not searchable, just put the text in a mouse over note or alt text for the imaj.<br>

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Quinn - what do you mean by "so I don't have to use @font-face"?
Vernon - thanks for calling out the Fontue project. I stopped developing it for
2 reasons:
- browser support stabilized to the point where TFF & EOT provide sufficient
coverage
- my opinion that @font-face works best when the font files are local to the
project - rather than on a hosted service. In my experience w/ running Kernest -
there are very few scenarios where a hosted web font service is superior to
self-hosted.
Here's the @font-face declaration I normally use:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Allan';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url('fonts/allan/Allan.eot?#') format('eot'), url('fonts/allan/Allan.ttf')
format('truetype');
}
Is this helpful?
