Korean website?

Hi,

I just translated a site into Korean… when I test on my PC (not Mac) its not finding the fonts, and just replacing with little rectangles… I would like to presume that in Korea, the PCs there will have the Korean fonts… and will be readable to them as normal… right?

When you installed Windows, was there an option to install
international fonts, similar to how Mac OS X offers that step in the
Options panel of the Installer? My guess is that yes, you will be
fine. But one thing that can trip anyone out, on any platform, is if
the font you have chosen does not have all of the Unicode glyphs
filled in. Many do not, especially in the “fancy” end of the font
collection. There are MS fonts that explicitly include the entire
Unicode set, and if you include them in your “cascade” of font
families, you can get good coverage for your non-roman script.

font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida',

‘Arial’, sans-serif;

Try changing the font set on the body tag to include ‘Arial Unicode’
first, before Arial. Also, get rid of Times in that cascade, and
replace it with sans-serif for uniform design.

Close, but here’s what I see:

font-family:Arial Unicode MS,arial,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans  
Unicode,Lucida,;

I want to see:

font-family:'Arial Unicode MS',Arial,'Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans  
Unicode',Lucida,sans-serif;

Notice the differences? (Any font name that includes spaces must be
quoted, and you left a trailing comma and left off sans-serif – the
default ultimate fallback.)

I just separated the two sites so I can just work on the Korean version without effecting the rest of the website - I can now mess with the fonts and it will only effect the Korean bit…

If I do what you last post said it makes the site go mental on the fonts (big, little sizes, random font typefaces etc)…

any ideas?

Try this (note that it’s in Gist, I am suspecting there was some
modification by the Web forum that might be affecting things).

Also, post the new URL for this fork of your site. I got to see the
cute HostGator 404 page earlier…

That seem better (as in the fonts haven’t gone mad) - fingers crossed it works in Korea!

Thanks for the help very much.
