I'm doing a wee site for myself at the moment - a blog, essentially, for my own use - so I thought 'fuckit' and have included @font-face.
My God. It works.
Rights issues and such aside, it's brilliant and I'm going to consider using it for other, more public projects.
I've been thinking for a while now that a site should have two modes - 'bleeding edge' functionality, for those with the latest browsers, and a retard level version for all the gimps stuck on IE6.
The retard one would still work, still be functional and worthwhile - but just wouldn't bother with anything fancy - I mean, that's where stuff starts breaking down, so fuckit. Basic CSS and images for the plebs it is.
- ps. anyone got any tips on hobbling Opentype to make it pointless for dl'ing by freetards?detritus
- 'hobbling an opentype font' even.detritus
- what I mean is - I want to strip out all the non-basic alphanumeric characters, so it's only of use for titles, etc.detritus
- ...and, more importantly, to reduce the filesize :)detritus
- Kind of like Cufon does?ukit
- I mean more in fontlab or something - physically removing the glyphs that make a font valuable.detritus
- I couldn't quite get it to work last night. Mind you, I was a little drunk.detritus
