AndyB Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I have used image replacement for fonts in a couple of client sites. Image replacement techniques work when properly coded. As long as the font exists and the replaced words fit within the confines of the screen space allocated, they work Some use better semantic mark-up than others. Some methods are more accessible than others.I'm not sure what you mean by 'trustworthy' in this context, but is that trustworthy enough for you?

I never popped into your post's and berated things you said, and questioned your intelligence. You had no reason to come on here and do that. I don't claim perfection in anything.I know the languages I have listed, and I have known them for that period of time, I redid my whole list a few day's ago to make sure it was accurate. THose languages I listed as studied I did just that, and I am at that point. I don't pop up and claim to know any of these, so that was unneccessary.[quote]http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifrDo any of you have experience working with this, what do you think about it, is it trustworthy?Or are there still limitations on the font's[/quote]Thank you, what I gathered from this url/program it told me that (when I was studying), that with css, this was a technique that could be used where if you picked a font family that was not supported in a browser, then this advanced method "sifr" would do something with the css using javascript to make it to where the browser could see the font anyway, this is what I had understood from the book I was reading when I got that link.

[/quote]Well, keep this in mind, too: you shouldn't be using obscure fonts that people don't have for any large text (paragraphs, etc), so you shouldn't [b]ever[/b] have to force a user's hand when it comes to displaying text. If you want a user to see a header in a given font, make an image of it. If it's a header that will be changing from time to time, upload the font to [i]your own[/i] server and use the GDLib to generate your image for your header. I would be extremely hesitant to use technologies like JavaScript and/or Flash to force a user to render the entire font of a page. I wouldn't want to depend on a user's settings to render my page properly.

Well, I've only done it a few times, but I've never had a problem with it. They do have to be TTFs, though. Is that what you've used?

neylitalo Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 To be honest, I haven't tried in quite some time, so I don't remember... I'll have to play around with it a bit later on tonight.
