Hello,
I have found, that one can generate a nice font with the usage of the
following line (for example):
<font face="Edwardian Script ITC" size="7"> Very nice </font>
Do you know whether this script is supported by all operation systems
(browsers?)? It is installed by default in Windows? What about Linux?
Do you know where one can find relatively full list of fonts which are
installed on most of computers.
Thank you.
I collect fonts but not aggressively. I only collect those that
appeal to my personal aesthetics. I have no font named Edwardian
Script.
Because of my interest in fonts, I also collect links to various
sites about fonts (not merely sources of new fonts but also
discussions of fonts). One very interesting site is "Code Style"
at <URL:http://www.codestyle.org/index.shtml>, which reports on
surveys of what fonts are installed on PC, Mac, and UNIX systems.
The complete list from the 5 March 2005 survey at
<URL:http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/sampler-CombinedResultsFull.shtml>
does not show any font named Edwardian Script.
Yes, the font is available. It is also identified by Bowfin
Printworks "Script Font Identification". See
<URL:http://bowfinprintworks.com/Script01Pg2.html>. Directly below
Edwardian Script on that page is Shelley Andante, which I prefer as
a script font. Like Shelley Allegro, Edwardian Script is just too
ornate for my taste.
While I do have all three Shelley fonts -- Andante, Allegro, and
Volante -- only the Andante is enabled. As with Edwardian Script,
none of the Shelley fonts appear in the "Code Style" survey
results.
