Fac Safari = Perfect, the way it's supposed to work.
Safari supports @font-face with tt/ot and supports text-shadow
Fac MSIE = Bad, but at least shows a sans font. text-shadow is NOT
Fac working.
msie supports @font-face but exclusively with eot fonts, so it won't
use the downloaded font. It doesnt support text-shadow. It may well be
picking up a serif font as a fallback.
Fac Firefox 3.0.11 (updated today) = Whoa! It's using a Serif font!
Fac Text-shadow is NOT working.
Firefox 3.5 preview (updated from beta 4 at the start of the week)
supports @font-face with tt/ot, downloads the font, and uses
text-shadow. So it renders just like Safari does.
Fac Google Chrome = It uses a Sans font, and the font/shadow thing
Fac works.
But does it use the graublau font?
Fac Opera = It uses a Sans font, and the font/shadow thing works.
Opera 10.0 beta (build 1551) supports @font-face with tt/ot, downloads
the font, and uses text-shadow. So it renders just like Safari does.
