Last updated: 2008/06/03 Return to the main page Introduction Here you can find the list with the standard set of fonts common to all versions of Windows and their Mac substitutes, referred sometimes as "browser safe fonts". This is the reference I use when making web pages and I expect you will find it useful too. If you are new to web design, maybe you are thinking: "Why I have to limit to that small set of fonts? If you want to know how the fonts are displayed in other OS's or browsers than yours, after the table you can find several screen shots of this page in different systems and browsers.

Fonts and Typefaces for Motion Design Mind blown? OK good. Se7en is kinetic type at its best (in a 1995 kind of way).

Fontjoy - Get smart font pairings in one click CSS Cross Browser Fonts using CSS3 @font-face For years, web designers and bloggers have been limited to a select number of "web-safe" fonts.

Here's a tutorial to show you how Expand Your Font Palette Using CSS3 In a tale involving proprietary font formats and a week-old release of FireFox, I'm here to say that using the CSS @font-face selector to spice up your website typography is an easy, light-weight, valid and cross-browser solution. Can this be true? History: The Web as a Typographic Wasteland For the past decade, web designers have been limited to a selection of about 13 or so "web-safe" fonts. While it's theoretically possible to utilize any font you want for a web site, in order for it to display properly, each visitor must have that particular font loaded on their computer.

Videvo CSS3 @font-face Design Guide Although CSS3 @font-face is supported by most major browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari), but not all. When it doesn't, your custom fonts might break the layout or come out with undesired results. In this article, I will explain the common issues with using custom fonts, picking the matching fallback web safe fonts, and how to create a perfect fallback font style with Modernizr. Common Mistake One common mistake that most people make when implementing custom fonts is not specifying the fallback fonts or picking the wrong fallback fonts. Web Safe Fallback Fonts When using custom fonts, it is important to include the web safe fonts as fallback. Layout Issues Because every font face has its own width, height, weight, kerning (letter-spacing), etc., some fonts are not substitutable with the web safe fonts. This might causes layout issues as shown in the image below where the fallback font extends off the boundary. Modernizr Fallback Font Styles With Modernizr (demo) Including Modernizr

HTML HTML (от англ. HyperText Markup Language — «язык гипертекстовой разметки») — стандартный язык разметки документов во Всемирной паутине. Большинство веб-страниц содержат описание разметки на языке HTML (или XHTML). Язык HTML интерпретируется браузерами и отображается в виде документа в удобной для человека форме. Язык HTML является приложением («частным случаем») SGML (стандартного обобщённого языка разметки) и соответствует международному стандарту ISO 8879. Язык XHTML является более строгим вариантом HTML, он следует всем ограничениям XML и, фактически, XHTML можно воспринимать как приложение языка XML к области разметки гипертекста. Во всемирной паутине HTML-страницы, как правило, передаются браузерам от сервера по протоколам HTTP или HTTPS, в виде простого текста или с использованием сжатия.

Freepik Nice Web Type – IE10 supports OpenType features via CSS Internet Explorer 10 has joined Firefox 4+ in supporting OpenType font features via CSS vendor prefixes. To explain how these features work, Microsoft commissioned demo pages from Font Bureau, Monotype, and FontFont (reminiscent of another demo/announcement from Microsoft). First WOFF support in IE9, and now the beginnings of OpenType feature support in IE10. The demos are nicely done, and they each come with code samples that are worth studying. The way OpenType features are presently implemented is somewhat complicated. For instance, here’s how to enable small caps in IE and Firefox: That’s the CSS font-feature-settings property, which is the most specific of font feature property settings. It’s too bad font-variant-caps and similar font-variant-based properties are not yet supported in any browser.
