Hi,
I am using a google-hosted embedded web font called Neuton:
http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Neuton&subset=latin
Here is a coded page that uses it. See left column (nav menu), the top-category
text (the serif text, not the san serif), that is bigger. The text that reads:
recent, design, design for real estate, contact. That is the neuton text.

My issue is that the font weight is heavier in the browser than it looked in
our photoshop comp. Is there any way, using CSS, to get the font weight to look
lighter (less bold)? Or do I just explain to the designer that the way text
looks in photoshop is different from how it looks in a browser?
Thanks! And Happy New Year,
Rory
Ditch Neuton.
Go to Font Squirrel.
<http://www.fontsquirrel.com/>
Download Calluna and install it.
Go back to Font Squirrel and use their fontface generator [expert setting].
<http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator>
Leave the font-weight as normal.
Changing it does not sit well cross browser.
Does this meet the "designers" approval?
Best,
