I have to say that Macromedia Flash is as propritary as EOT fonts!
EOT doesn't require Flash installed and works on IE6, IE7 with Windows
95/98/ME/2K/2K3/Vista (ie 90%+ of users) and uses ClearType rendering when
enabled.
It will also degrade gracefully to another font and can be read by screen
readers.
Just a line in the old CSS file to get the font in your list, viz:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] { font-family: TiresiasScreenfont; font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal; src: url(fonts/TIRESIA0.eot); }
@font-face { font-family: "Neo Sans Light"; font-style: normal;font-weight:
normal; src: url("fonts/NEOSANS2.eot"); }*
And then just call the font by it's name...
*H1 { font-family: "Neo Sans Light", Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif;}*
How easy is that?
And the .EOT file is cached by the browser!
