Re: [WSG] Smooth fonts with CSS
You mean to Anti-Alias them... Sadly there no way you can do this just thru CSS, you could use Shaun Inmann's Flash Replacement Trick, which scans you code and replaces what you select with Flash http://www.shauninman.com/mentary/past/ifr_revisited_and_revised.php Ive used it on many projects and its great! * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *

Re: [WSG] Smooth fonts with CSS
Yeah I know... it just that it is flash and I don't want to mess with that yet until I get my head right to learn it I would use it if they had the source code ready but it means that I have to be doing it myself and I don't want to do that until I'm ready to go head on with flash - Original Message - From: Mark Harwood [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2004 5:39 AM Subject: Re: [WSG] Smooth fonts with CSS Well you could do that, but thats not doing what you asked... You wanted to smooth your text! and with the FIR that what it basicly does, it does not replace the Markup in the Source, it does not replace it with a image, the text is still selectable and even can be edited via css (color,font,font-size) but if you wish to go down the creating loads of images route then so be it... but FIR is quick, simple and effortless... * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help * --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Re: [WSG] Smooth fonts with CSS
The smoothing of fonts is outside the scope of CSS - it is a Operating System setting. Different operating systems handle it differently - for example: - OSX handles fonts beautifully and can make sites far easier to read. - Linux handles fonts almost as good as OSX but not quite - but it is definetely easier to read than my work system which is windows 2000. - Windows XP will do font antialiasing (particularly on LCD's using cleartype) but on standards screens it wont anti-alias most fonts.
