I'm between a middleman (aka 'the agency') and the developer... I was brought in at the last minute because what they designed was painful for the client... ...so I redesigned / adjusted their content and gave the client a piece they're in love with.
What I'm talking about for the fonts are all navigation related. Very simple rollover graphics that can have alt data attached to them ('home' 'about us' etc)... and also buttons like 'learn more' that are all simple text graphics - but designed to... ohhhhhhh fuck it... I don't owe any of you cocks an explanation...
... do your fucking job right, lazy fucks.
:D

Let's be fair and give equal time to designers who think they understand development: "can't you use includes in emails?"

PonyBoy is probably wondering why he can't use Mrs. Eaves for the body copy of his website and taking his rage out on the developer.

it can come down to how well your communication with the developer is. they might not have much of an aesthetic eye, after all you're the designer and they're the developer. i've found that the longer you work with a developer the better the shorthand between the two of you and therefore the faster and more smooth the process.

You rely on the developer to slice graphics?
I don't know of many real developers that would want to do that or be good at it.
- HUH?? it's their job to slice the graphics how they see fit in order to work with their coding.iCanHasQBN
- Your saying designer isn't capable of slicing graphics? Gimme a fuckin break.ukit
- I used to slice the graphics and write out the exact spacing, margins, line-height etc. so they had no excuseukit
- why don't you just go ahead and code it at that point.MIJA
- Because the spec then served as a reference for multiple developers working on multiple pages of a projectukit
- But yea, I guess you're right, might as well build a simple prototype at that point.ukit
- You must work with some really shitty developers. You'd drive me up the wall.welded
- shitty? no. lazy, yesmonospaced
- Does it matter if they're good but lazy?welded

Why can't you just use the FONT PROVIDED?
Cut the fucking graphics ACCURATELY and don't replace the chosen fonts with ARIAL... you lazy dick.
10 years ago... I'd of let you get away with a few things - but the tools and scripts at your disposal shouldn't hold you back from maintaining branding and usability... ... stop being a lazy fuck... and do the job you told me you'd do.
