@font-face in IE: Making Web Fonts Work All Hallows’ Eve seems the perfect time for something a little spooky. Getting @font-face working in IE may just be spooky enough. As you probably know @font-face already works in Safari 3 via WebKit and is supported in the latest Firefox 3.1 beta. With IE, that means around 75% of the world audience could see custom typefaces today if their EULAs allowed it. Fortunately, there are good free faces available to us already, as well as some commercial faces that permit embedding. Before we get into the nitty-gritty of making this work, which you can skip to if you wish, I thought a little history and a brief summary of the current status of the web fonts debate might be useful. Web Fonts: Then & Now Web fonts have been with us for a decade. Since the debate opened up, the web and type communities have both been busy discussing how the future will unfold. Recently, Bert Bos of the W3C paid a visit to the ATypI Conference in St Petersburg to meet with type designers face to face. That’s all!

@font-face syntax « Paul Irish Bulletproof Let me introduce you to the best way to do your @font-face definitions: This is the Fontspring @font-face syntax. I’ll circle back to why this is the best possible solution but let’s first review the other techniques’ weaknesses. Of course, the problem at the center of this is that IE needs an .eot font, and the other browsers must take a .ttf or .otf. May 12th, 2010. Okay, let’s see what we got here… Conditional comments (via) Ugh. Double declarations (via) The problem here is that, as Andrea points out, IE will actually download the .otf file. Because after all, IE doesn’t understand the format hint, right? GraublauWeb.otf’)%20format(‘opentype Oops, looks like someone forgot a ? Mo’ Bulletproofer (via) Richard Fink proposed this alternate syntax actually as a response to this post, but I’ve included it back here. The local reference Much more concise and clean. The other benefit.. if it just so happens that a user actually has your custom font installed, this’ll save them the download. Demo

Comment utiliser une fonte «non-standard» sur un site Web ? - Alsacréations Il est de notoriété publique que l'usage des fontes sur le Web est limité à une poignée de fontes non pas standardisées, mais suffisamment répandues pour pouvoir être utilisées sans trop de risques. Et cela pour une raison très simple: la police de caractères que l'on souhaite utiliser doit être présente sur le système de l'utilisateur pour être utilisée par le navigateur. Quand @font-face tombe à l'eau CSS 2 (publié en 1998) comprenait un mécanisme qui autorisait les auteurs de pages web à proposer une fonte au téléchargement, fonte qui serait ensuite utilisée dans la page. Il s'agit de la règle @font-face. Mais celle-ci a été peu implémentée par les navigateurs, ou alors partiellement. Pendant longtemps, le seul navigateur à avoir un support tout relatif de @font-face était Internet Explorer. Quand @font-face revient En réalité, @font-face n'a pas été supprimée de CSS, elle a juste été repoussée à CSS 3. Support de @font-face par les navigateurs Google Web Fonts Font Squirrel
=CSS @Ten: The Next Big Thing | A List Apart CSS is ten years old this year. Such an anniversary is an opportunity to revisit the past and chart the future.

11 Classic CSS Techniques Made Simple with CSS3 We've all had to achieve some effect that required an extra handful of divs or PNGs. We shouldn't be limited to these old techniques when there's a new age coming. This new age includes the use of CSS3. In today's tutorial, I'll show you eleven different time-consuming effects that can be achieved quite easily with CSS3. I'm sure you've heard of CSS in general. CSS3 isn't that much different, in terms of syntax; however, the power of CSS3 is much greater. Here's what the official (or at least, what I consider official) website of CSS3, css3.info, has to say about CSS3: CSS3 is the new kid in the stylesheet family. Here are the 11 techniques that I'll be showing you how to recreate with CSS3. Probably my favorite on of this list, rounded corners provide a developer with so many options. You can simulate rounded corners by using four extra divs or by using JavaScript. The classical method uses jQuery along with a JavaScript plugin called Corners. View the demo. View the demo.
