AXiSS Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Is there anyway to detect if a client's computer has a font installed before they enter your website? I am working on a website that uses an uncommon font for titles and other stuff, and I wish that everyone would see it that way. A simple test on the index page that redirects to a "We recommend you install this font" page if you dont have the font would be good.Thanks,AXiSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 This can not be done with PHP, since PHP executes on the server. Javascript might be able to detect this, but you are making a very user unfriendly site and suggest that you use CSS to have a fallback font.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXiSS Posted December 16, 2006 Author Share Posted December 16, 2006 Then would it be more efficient just to make images of all the text in that font? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
