This is only, somehow, implemented by IE windows. It has been dropped out of CSS 2.1, due a lack of interoperability, and the zillions of problems associated with downloadable fonts (copyright issues, security, file size,... and what more). The CSS WG has opened a discussion on this very topic <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006Apr/0070.html> 'Downloadable fonts and image replacement' <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2006Apr/thread.html> Philippe --- Philippe Wittenbergh <http://emps.l-c-n.com> ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
