Hi to everyone, I am working on web project which deals with lots of fonts (thousands and thousands...) so I need to use the @font-face css features and I would like to have precision about that:
1. How, the browser validate a font? For example if the font have glyph codes in CC (control character), the font seems to be found invalid by Firefox. Another example, some malformed fonts has "unvisible" glyph (glyph with no contour but with width), how the render engine deals with. What is the exact rule? Which class in the source code is responsible of validation, where it is? 2. What is the font rendering engine? Is it FreeType? Which version? 3. Which font format is supported? Which one is recommended if any? Same question for mobile version of Firefox. 4. What about Kerning and Ligature in Firefox? Are they supported? Mobile version? 5. About font fallbacking, CSS norm seems to recommend panose-1 classification. Is this features supported? 6. Which font table (GDEF, FFTM...) is supported? Thanks in advance for nformation Meir TOLEDANO 2011/10/11 Robert O'Callahan <[email protected]> > On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 10:07 PM, Meir TOLEDANO <[email protected] > > wrote: > >> I am developer in a project which to produce thousands of HTML5 pages.
