Fontprep: The Missing Css3 Font Generator For Mac

I'm trying to use 'LeagueGothic' font or a variation to similar on my site. Such as on sites like 'and 'used as their headers. Though for some reason, after I drag their header styles out via firebug and throw them in my CSS it remains rendering at 'Arial'. Am I missing something with this font - I've also toggled the syntax to ' ' rather then ' ' and tried a few other variations. Font-family: 'LeagueGothic','Helvetica Neue','Helvetica','Arial'.

ChrisB @font-face does work in a css file. Make sure your src paths are relative of the root folder. Try AceeBaba’s code from above. Except make sure the format is ’embedded-opentype’ and not just ‘eot’ As for the eots from font squirrel, they seem to work in ie8 for me.

Could be because of the format like i said above. Also i don’t see how you got it to work on other computers without the src links. Unless you decided to use an external link from google or someone. Which i’d advise against since it will increase page load time. But if you do, make sures its above your css links or they wont know it’s there.

I realize this is almost two months old, but in the off chance you revisit this post Photoshop has an anti-alias feature in the type tool. It is next to the font size drop down in the top tool bar and at the bottom right corner in the Character Window. I usually change this to “none” in the drop down for any text that will be browser generated.

It’s not exactly the same text rendering, but it’s the best we have right now. There really is no industry standard tool that will render text identical to the browser (which renders differently depending on the browser and platform). I hope that helps.

Hi, I’m strugling with this for hours, and I just cannot figure it out: I can get web fonts to work on most browsers, but if i want it to work on internet explorer 7, I need to put the html, the css and the font files in the same folder! It gets pretty messy, because I’m using the six-caps font for headers, and I cannot find a suitable fallback safe font for it.

Strange thing is that I cannot find it reported anywhere else, and if I test it with files from lyndas tutorial, it works just fine for ie. Since it is working for every major browser (including ie8 and ie9) I’m assuming the paths are correct, and since my testing site is not at the root, i cannot give it absolute paths during development. I’m using the exact latest font squirrel sintax from the downloaded webfont kits. Is it possible that ie7 uses different path location on css, or maybe that it might be working on the other browsers because I already have a local copy?

Best regards, isabel. Is there a proper solution for the Firefox font render issue (on Macs only)? Still exists with an icomoon self made font, made from svg-s. Example Win FF (21) on IOS (sand color arrow font on white background, on FF the font is rendered too bold can’t see the arrow) CSS properties that applied: speak: none; content: attr(data-icon); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: inherit; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; Any idea?

(I’ve tried: font sizing in pixels not in ems, playing with font-weight, but not getting a good results /actually i got exactly the same/). I seem to have encountered this issue with IE8 and below not rendering my @font-face declarations. I have literally tried all the solutions that I can find online when others have encountered the problem and now ive pretty much run out of ideas. I am getting the issue on our live holding page: (thats not a link drop this is a genuine issue that I need a second pair of eyes to take a look at). The holding page doesnt matter to much but need to resolve it as I am developing our new site at the moment.

Thanks in advance. @Greg Ledger If all the fonts have licenses that allow them to be used online, there’s no reason you can’t use them. Go to FontSquirrel and see if they already have font-kits for the fonts. If they do, download them, concatenate the stylesheet.css files and you are ready to go. If Fontsquirrel doesn’t already have a font-kit, go to the web-font generator, upload the.ttf files and it will create the font-kits for you.

And honestly, who cares if web fonts render in IE8 and below? If you are going to use an ancient browser, you probably don’t even know there are fonts other than Times New Roman, Arial and Verdana and you aren’t going to see all the other wonderful anyway. Seriously I’m really tempted to start using normalize.css for my ieHacks.css file.

Especially with Foundation. Hey everyone, I just completed my site. I set the font codes to “Trajan Pro” On my macbook pro and mac desktop the font style appears but for others it seems like an Arial font or some generic is appearing. I believe I have found the solution with this code here on this page but I am confused on how to set it up.

Like as far as uploading the font? I don’t have the file, I just typed it in the code.

Then where do I place this code on my html or css? Any advice/help will be greatly appreciate it. If you’re using @font-face, then it’s always a CSS. And as with CSS you can put it either in HTML or CSS file, but puting it in HTML doesn’t really make any sense, because if CSS file loads quicker then your HTML (which is a bit funny but I guess that can happen), the @font-face might not load, so answering your question – put @font-face at the BEGINNING of your CSS file.

Go to Fontsquirrel, download WebTypeKit with your fonts and read the manual, which is included in there Howtousewebfonts.html. Hope that helps a bit.:). Some font files are really large. Though they add beauty to the designs, they can significantly increase the page load time, and therefore can affect search engine rankings and decrease the amount of returning visitors of your website. While some users do not have to use extended language parameters like cyrilic, arabic etc., I for example have to use them.

And this almost doubles the file size of the font. Because of this I remember that I had to use in some of my pages standart fonts like Arial, Tahoma despite I wanted to use new age font faces. It would be great if sometime on the web, all the font files could be joined into one unique font file, that will be readable for all operating systems and devices. With this, it will speed up the loading time of the pages and therefore the user enhance experience. Well saying this is easy, if it will become true(it should!!), will we see in the future. The advantage of many of the web based font-face generators is they actually do lot of processing (like striping font names of special characters, generating correct css etc.) to make sure the generated font-face works across broad spectrum of the browsers. Apart from font squirrel mentioned here everythingfonts does a great job as well, as a font face generator:.

The disadvantage with the webfont generators though is because they change the font name they are incompatible with many font licenses. Re: ‘speedy’ CDN font services: NOT! Could have been except all the CDN services involve font file protection, in addition to stumbling through font service script compiles. All of the font services you list with the sole exception of Google are monolithic slugs under the hot Sun. Use Google for best speed in most cases, and otherwise this is a great @fontface article.

Btw: Shawn has a good idea concerning Google web fonts being added to operating systems, except anti-trust and other trade violations are so common with Google now in Europe, that adding its fonts to a computer may soon be as deadly efficient as running paid ‘secret’ font services, stuck-fast CDN computing. Have been playing with a few options mentioned in this article: Is it possible that Google Web Fonts only uses.woff or.woff2 in their @font-face families? That would mean other font extensions aren’t supported through this technique. I clicked-through the link above the mention that “A benefit of using a hosted service is that it is likely to include all the font file variations, which ensures deep cross-browser compatibility without having to host all those files ourselves.” and found no diversity of file extensions. I’ve since downloaded the Google font I wanted to use, converted all the formats with web tools, and have those files local to the server.

Not sure if anyone can help me here, I feel I have tried everything now to clear the cache in chrome after changing the font and it simply won’t load the new one, safari had the same issue at first, but safari let me fix it in seconds with the developer menu disable and empty caches I could see it happen in realtime, I have now cleared the cache in chrome 1000 times and still it loads the old set, I know this belongs in chrome support, but hey maybe someone here, because it’s related to using @font-face knows the solution and had the same problem. That’s why I’m just trying my luck here.

I’m embedding Linux Libertine and Linux Biolinum. I see in most all the comments here that folks are popping in more than one src+url in a font-face declaration.

In the examples I saw posted elsewhere for Linux Libertine/Biolinum, there was a separate font-face declaration for each woff file, with the font-styles presumably serving as “gatekeepers” for each woff. Is there a best practice? Is just one declaration more efficient and faster to load? Are browsers smart enough to figure out the proper rendering?
