I have a font that most systems will not have. How do I get the font to the
client.
The font is identified in the CSS page.
TIA,

What I usually if I have a font that I know the user will not have is
create navigation images using the font. If there is a large amount of
text that needs to be displayed then I will create an actual image to
display instead.
If I can help it at all I will avoid using extravagant and uncommon
fonts. I mainly try to stick to so-called "web fonts" (i.e. Verdana,
Arial, etc...).
Isnt there a way to embed the font.
I would use an image, but then the product name, which is using the uncommon
font in question, need to be text so the search engine will pick it up.
I know Flash MX, the user will download the font it they do not have it.
Thanks,
Steve

On a side note, images should always have an "alt" attribute, which is
the alternate text being displayed when the image cannot be displayed
(text-only browsers, mobile browsers with images turned off, or simply
error with the image). The search engines robots use the "alt" text
index the website.

Arial, Verdana etc are not even available on all systems (Arial is not
available on Macintosh, for example). To be really safe, there are the
generic font-families: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/#generic-font-families

Hi,
i'm creating a website which uses a very special font that not all
people have on their computer. Without this font the site looks just
ridiculous. Of course I want everyone to see the site in the same way
and as good as possible, so either I could transform all text into
images (which is not such a good solution since there is quite a lot
of text) OR I might try and somehow "force" the user to download and
install the font via...

Why is there no standardized and well-working way for a web-page to
offer the font for download/embed it, in order to be displayed on the
page?
No matter what you think of the preferred font of a designer, many
web-sites offer an image of the text instead to "force" this font --
which certainly can't be the solution (it's a bit of a hassle to
maintain and create).

I would like to include a specific font. Rather than create images with
the font where and when I need it, I was hoping I could embed it.
I do realize it is optional and is up to the user to download (if and
when prompted to download) the font.
Are these the only methods, and are they the *best* method of embedding
a font?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
