Hi,
I've learned that in order to have crisp text for the web that you need to write the code in HTML.
Is there a way to embed, in HTML, a non-stream font so that you're not stuck with the defaults if the browser doesn't support it?
Thanks
:cool:
 
Embedding fonts can be done with WEFT (I think it stands for "Web Embedding Font Tool"). This is a micro$oft tool and is free for download. The only problem is that it is only supported by Internet Explorer (I think - I could be wrong). I think Netscape has there own tool that will do that same thing.

You might even find a tool on google that is cross browser compatible. I haven't looked into this in quite some time.

Good luck,
Mithrilhall
 
I cant wait for the browser wars to subside in order for support for my graphics to come around. I just make a 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 versions of my pages when crispness is crucial. Seems tedious i know, but I build at the highest res I need and just re-export slices at different reses. It also helps to have a bad-ass programmer for a little brother so your site can determine which version to display.
