Hello
I used web fonts from Fonts.com for the first time, in a website that is
both in German and Russian. As Fonts.com serves not only bold and italic
variants, but also the latin-1 and cyrillic language options with
different family names, I had to write my own @font-face declarations,
that basically look like the following:
/* Condensed Latin */
@font-face {
font-family:"HelveticaNeue-Cn";
font-weight:normal;
src:[latin-1 font files];
}
/* Condensed Cyrillic */
@font-face {
font-family:"HelveticaNeue-Cn";
font-weight:normal;
unicode-range: U+400-4ff;
src:[cyrillic font files];
}
The complete stylesheet is at
http://www.memorynight.ch/css_js/fontfacelokal.css
Now this works well except in Firefox and Opera, as can be seen if you
look at the ä, ö and ü characters in this page:
http://www.memorynight.ch/de/spiel/charity.html
- Firefox shows these characters in the fallback font of the stylesheet
(Arial)
- Opera shows these characters and the rest of the word in the browser
default font.
The characters affected are the only ones not present in the cyrillic
font files. Thus I assume that FF and Opera do not correctly interpret
the unicode-range property, but rather override the first declaration.
Opera then does not seem to be able to "correctly" apply the fallback
font to single characters.
Does somebody know a workaround for this issue? Or am I even wrong, and
somebody can point me to a mistake in my stylesheet?
Thank you for your comments!
Markus
