Hello,
How can I embed fonts in my web pages such that the pages have a uniform
appearance across all browsers (Netscape, IE & Opera), across all
platforms, IRIX, Win 2K, SP etc. whether or not the platform has the
font installed. I am using style sheets, which should help.
Thanks

This has been discussed a gazillion times in the groups you rather randomly
posted to. The short answer is "Don't." Stay tuned to the usual bogus
answers that advertize some technology without citing real-life examples.
F'ups randomized the usual way.

There are ways to bundle fonts with Java Applets. But then anything
you display has to appear in the Applet. You can't display general
HTML, just a stripped down HTML in a JTextPane.

Short answer: You can't.
Long answer: It is not worth the trouble. 100s of KB of data per page
required. Inconsistent support.

Take a screenshot of your web page, delete your web page from your server,
upload the screenshot image.

Not possible for Netscape nor Opera nor Safari nor Mozilla-based
browsers for now. Don't expect webfonts to be supported in near future
by those browsers.
across all platforms, IRIX, Win 2K, SP etc.
Not possible. Only IE 5+ under several conditions.

You should ask yourself how important using embedded fonts really is for
your site. Is this for cosmetic purposes, stylish decoration or is
embedding fonts really adding value, fonctionality, accessibility,
usability, etc.. to your site?
I used to support/advocate embedding webfonts myself but I've
relativized the issue since then.

Hi, there.
Thanks for any help that can be offered. I've been working with Python for

Hello all,
When webfonts are used for purely cosmetic/ornemental reasons and on a
large scale, I don't agree.
When webfonts are used because Unicode support among browsers for a
particular language (like a Canadian Aboriginal language) is inexistent
(see

Hello everyone.
You might wonder what the subject suggests ;) - I would like to write a
fully local (Polish), platform independent and internet accessible
application using 0.20.5 FOP release. There are no Polish fonts in it,
so I need to add them on my own. The FOP homepage gives a clear
explanation on how to do this. So: I need to create font metrics file
(say arial_pl.xml) using arial_pl.ttf file. Next I need to update the

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. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
