in the process of converting you do need to know where the webpage is going to be hosted because the font will be encoded specifically for that web address. If you try to use that font in another website it wont work. please note I have moved this webpage to another location so the eot version will not work until I update it.

I wondered why this was too until I re-read Max’s original post, quoted above.

Anyone else using @font-face in freeway? I’ve not tried it. I’ve downloaded the example above, but have not been able to upload it properly. Also ran across a good article with the following code:

Code from Bulletproof @font-face syntax - Paul Irish

@font-face {
font-family: “Your typeface”;
src: url(“type/filename.eot”);
src: local(“:smiling_face:”),
url(“type/filename.woff”) format(“woff”),
url(“type/filename.otf”) format(“opentype”),
url(“type/filename.svg#filename”) format(“svg”);
}

@font-face {
font-family: “Your italic typeface”;
src: url(“type/filename-ital.eot”);
src: local(“:smiling_face:”),
url(“type/filename-ital.woff”) format(“woff”),
url(“type/filename-ital.otf”) format(“opentype”),
url(“type/filename-ital.svg#filename-ital”) format(“svg”);
}
h2 { font-family: “Your typeface”, Georgia, serif; }
h2 em { font-family: “Your italic typeface”, Georgia, serif; }
em { font-style: italic; }

In freeway, would this code would be added via the style palette in the extend option or in the before page markup?

Thanks for any experience strength and hope on this issue. Would love to use more interesting fonts.

Hi,
I have an Action which implements @fontface - it uses font packs from www.fontsquirrel.com (which will also convert your own fonts if you are legally allowed to).

http://www.actionsworld.com/Actions/Caxton/index.php

My Actions Site uses @fontface rather a lot.

I am using Caxton extensively.

I only use one font, Prociono, and it is one designed for this use. The kerning seems quite a bit better, though that could be my imagination. The font’s design was specifically for browser kerning.

There were some issues early in the game for me, with resources getting dropped. That may or may not have been due to Caxton and my use. But things have been stable for a good whole as I pull all sorts of other FWP tricks. I would highly recommend it.

Sorry. Yesterday I went through and fully justified the whole site.
I see now that was a mistake. You can see that the space between the words is greater at the beginning of each line.

This is what it looked like yesterday and will again tomorrow:

Sorry. I justified the whole site yesterday. I see that is a mistake. The space between words is all at the beginning of each line.

This is what it looked like yesterday and will tomorrow. A better example.
