I coudnt get the webfont thing to work, so just went with gif and jpg piks uv the text. Kind uv a hassle, but it ensurez that everybody will see it correctly. If youre worried that the pik text iz not searchable, just put the text in a mouse over note or alt text for the imaj.

Vernon - thanks for calling out the Fontue project. I stopped developing it for 2 reasons: - browser support stabilized to the point where TFF & EOT provide sufficient coverage - my opinion that @font-face works best when the font files are local to the project - rather than on a hosted service. In my experience w/ running Kernest - there are very few scenarios where a hosted web font service is superior to self-hosted. Here's the @font-face declaration I normally use: @font-face { font-family: 'Allan'; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; src: url('fonts/allan/Allan.eot?#') format('eot'), url('fonts/allan/Allan.ttf') format('truetype'); } Is this helpful? ----------------------- Garrick van Buren http://garrickvanburen.com 612 325 9110 ----------------------- On Oct 28, 2013, at 11:49 PM, vernon adams wrote: > Hi Quinn! > > I keep wanting to find this out too.
