Experimenting with new technology
Posted on Jul 9 2009 | Posted in Personal | No Comments
I’ve changed some fonts on this site, hopefully it looks super awesome. I’m using a technique that allows for custom fonts in webpages that don’t necessarily need to be installed on the user’s computer, the font is read directly from the server. I’m using Diavlo for headlines, and Fontin for normal body content, as well as the links above.
You will see the difference if you are using Firefox 3.5 (my fave), Safari, Google Chrome, Konqueror, Opera, or one of several other browsers. Internet Explorer hasn’t implemented this yet, even in IE8 which came out a couple months ago – so if the site looks the same to you, that’s why. Older versions of the browsers I listed above won’t display the new fonts either.
That’s OK, I still think the site looks fine with the normal fonts.
