Detect if Fonts are installed on web client

Hi all,

developing a multilingual app in .net and relying on
the .NET cultures. There is a need to determine
programmaticall y whether or not the browser client-side
supports a particular font, for example "Are asian fonts
installed? If yes, display simplified chinese as a viable
option. If not, display install this font message."

CultureInfo.Get Cultures
(CultureTypes.I nstalledWin32Cu ltures)) refers to the
server-side, so don't even go there :?).

I could not find anything on the subject! Merry Xmas
everyone!

Hi All, I've run into a bit of an interesting problem with CSS and font DPI and would certainly welcome help. Problem: Page layout defined in CSS has font size issues (overlapping frames, text overflowing out of popup window, etc) on a windows systems using 120dpi fonts (large fonts), but everything looks perfect in 96dpi small fonts.

Don't really want to embed fonts, it adds to the download time, although this may be my only choice. I am also not sure how the browsers handle families of fonts. I am using Arial and Sans-Serif for ALL the languages and the client sees empty squares instead of a language font until they install a particular culture. Embedding a whole family of fonts does not sound like a fast download.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
