[OpenFontLibrary] More about @font-face

2009-06-06 Thread Fontfreedom 
Ie has supported it for 10 years, and a gpl eot converter is in the  
works. I
expect ff and opera to ship within 6 months.
 
@font face does not work with IE...What do you mean supported it? Is  
there a 3rd party downloadable plugin somewhere so it will work? @font face 
does  not work with MSIE 6 or MSIE 7 or MSIE 8. Maybe it will be in MSIE 9?
 
I have tested it in Arora (Qt 4.5) and Midori (WebKitGtk  1.1.8)...
 
I've never heard of these browsers...They do not appear on the lists of  
popular browsers. Great that they work though. 
 
I suspect it is also supported in Konqueror (KHTML) 
 
Last year, that browser had 0.01% of the market. Now, it has lost  
ground...less than 0.01%.

Since it does work with Safari  the Mac is popular in the design  
community, maybe some Mac web designers creating Apple oriented sites will  
start 
using it.
 
A problem is: Even when a released browser does start supporting a new  
feature, many people use older browser versions. For the current May/June 2009, 
 the top three browsers are:

#1 MSIE 7 (40%)
#2 Firefox 3.0 (20%)
#3 MSIE 6 (16%)
 
MSIE 6 is something many web designers are still told sites MUST  work 
perfectly with.
 
FF

 @font face does not work with IE...

Yes it does.

 What do you mean supported it?

Since IE4, IE has supporting CSS @font-face, but only for one font format, EOT.

It is possible to generate EOT files with no restrictions so that they
can be downloaded from any site and uploaded to any site and will only
be shown in IE.

 I've never heard of these browsers...They do not appear on the lists of
 popular browsers. Great that they work though.

They are all WebKit based - same as Safari, and Google Chrome.

Of course it does, but only with EOT format fonts.  Does W3C mandate a 
particular font format in that part of the CSS spec?  In fact wasn't it 
someone from Microsoft who originally proposed @font-face embedding that 
was first included in the CSS 1.5 draft spec?



!--[if IE]
style type=text/css
@font-face {
  font-family: OFLFreeFont;
  font-style:  normal;
  font-weight: normal;
  src: url(fon ts/OFLFreeFont.eot);
}
/style

!--[if !IE]--
style type=text/css
@font-face {
  font-family: OFLFreeFont;

  font-weight: normal;
