Re: [css-d] @font-face

Thanks for the comments, it was a general observation about the state of affairs of fonts on the web, but I wasn’t able to find any discussion about it. It has been clarified immensely for me, thank you. Chris From: Barney Carroll [mailto:barney.carr...@gmail.com] Sent: June-02-11 6:01 AM To: B

Re: [css-d] @font-face

Interesting thread! Thanks to everyone for the contributions... Great info. Barney: Great explanation! (I have not googled anything yet) Do most Typekit fonts account for sub-pixel rendering? What do you folks think of the fonts on Typekit and/or Fontspring? What ab

[css-d] @font-face and Androol

Anyone have a clue as to why Android will not load custom fonts? I have read and tried the suggestions by Paul Irish and the like with no luck. I have also tested this on a Motorola Backflip w/Android 2.1 and HTC Aria with Android 2.2 Thank you, Marc Hall HallMarc Websites _

[css-d] Use of <> brackets

Apologies for the initial top post. Running too fast. Michael, many thanks for the explanation, it has served to open some insights about the difference between generated and server code, which I had not understood clearly. Bill On 6/2/2011 6:55 PM, Michael Geary wrote: It's an easy mistake
