Maybe I\'ll create a plugin for them later. Greetings,,, Marco Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:10:43 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc1400 This is a very useful gadget for it\'s simplicity and functionality. But I\'m having a problem with accentuated letters like á à ê.. etc..., I\'ve searched for info about how to bypass this problem but didn\'t found anything, is there any info about this anywhere? Thank you so much, dz dzogchen Mon, 17 Mar 2008 13:30:22 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc1403 What are you using? The sIFR or PHP Image Replacement? And are you sure the \"special characters\" are supported by the font file? Marco Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:26:53 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc1406 I\'m using the PHP Image Replacement, and yes, on Photoshop I can make accents with this font. I\'m using charset UTF-8 on the html. dz dzogchen Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:52:07 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc1869 Marco, this is a great tool. One question, got it to work for text but does not work if trying to use it for a link button. See code below. What am I doing wrong here? The minute I use the class, link does not work. \"Sand Sports One Test of the wrap Help is appreciated. GlamisPsd Fri, 09 May 2008 23:42:06 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc2836 Hey, is there anyway of applying a black stroke around the outline of each character and gradient of 2 colors? I\'m assuming if a duplicate of each character (increased in size by 103% or something) is rendered behind the other character, then it should act as the border. Not sure about gradient though :( Cheers, Mutasim Mutasim Sun, 21 Sep 2008 17:30:43 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc2838 I found some work on gradient in GD, I managed to make a square with two color gradient. Not sure if you could implement this into color of font. http://planetozh.com/blog/my-projects/images-php-gd-gradient-fill/ Mutasim Sun, 21 Sep 2008 17:51:05 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc2934 Hi I try to use this nice piece of code with cyrillic alphabet, but in result only image placeholders. Is there a solution for using it with cyrillic alphabet? Thanks in advance!

Just drop the files in a directory, truely add one line of script and you\'re set. No need to configure anything else or initiate it. It works on almost all browsers, even old ones. It was developed to respect standards and is completely driven by CSS. There is a free version and a professional version. The pro version has full support for @font-face. Check it out if you like. It\'s called True Font Family and the website is [url]http://www.truefontfamily.com/[/url] Remon Lammers Thu, 13 Nov 2008 12:31:50 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc3450 Hi, The PHP replacement looks fine in Safari and FF but in IE7 the image is always large, it\'s as though the Font Size attribute is being ignored. Am I missing something? John Wed, 10 Dec 2008 14:18:37 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc3451 It seems that IE7 (or at least my version!) only replaced the first word, if I urlendode the text then it works fine. John Wed, 10 Dec 2008 14:33:45 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc4551 I have implemented your code, and I\'m certain it\'s almost working... I think its just paths that are the problem. I\'ve made it work in with a custom template within Joomla 1.5 When I look at the code via firebug, all the code appears to be rendering, except the actual image. any ideas?

Derek Wed, 18 Mar 2009 02:54:04 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc4748 Which technique are you using? Images or flash? Marco Wed, 18 Mar 2009 08:47:47 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc4749 im using flash Derek Wed, 18 Mar 2009 10:33:01 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc4752 Download the new version of sIFR and check the new API. You should be able to set the background colour to \"transparent\" in that version. Good luck! Marco Wed, 18 Mar 2009 13:29:29 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc4758 sounds good. where can i get the latest version? Derek Wed, 18 Mar 2009 19:30:39 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc4762 Here ya go: http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifr3/ Good luck! Marco Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:05:01 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc4800 Does the font file need to be in the root folder of the server? Thanks! Chris Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:02:50 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc4871 I modified a line in ifr.js, in \"replacement\" function... var url = items[i].url + \"?text=\"+(tokens[k]+\'%20\')+\"&selector=\"+escape(items[i].selector); JS is no longer encoding accents, so it works fine for me. I hope this helps! Noctis Wed, 25 Mar 2009 20:55:54 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc5202 hey marco, im goin with php instead if flash. question is, will this work with true type font files? or only open type? Derek Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:44:14 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc5223 Personally, I don\'t really know. I assume that both should work, but I\'m not sure. Simply try it out to see if TTF files work! Marco Thu, 16 Apr 2009 07:44:56 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc5245 Ok I\'ll try the TTF file. Just one other question, what is the purpose of the \"test.png - Location of the test image \". What exactly is this file doing? I opened it up in photoshop and it\'s jus a 1x1 white box. Derek Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:28:03 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc5248 Ignore my last post. I realised what I asked after and it clicked. One thing I can\'t get to work is making the text a link. Any ideas? Derek Fri, 17 Apr 2009 02:43:48 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc5311 does any one know how to make the images smaller and how to hyperlink them? Derek Tue, 21 Apr 2009 01:56:05 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc8567 Has anyone had this working within wordpress? Inside header.php Inside page.php This is a dynamic custom font I\'ve also tried putting the last line into the body part of the header file with no luck - please help! Thanks Samantha Gale Sat, 11 Jul 2009 16:12:46 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc9236 Hi Noctis , I\'ve just replaced the line you mentioned before but still not working. Did it really work for you? The curious is that I have the script working pretty good with accents when in localhost. When I run it online the letters with accents are converted in white boxes. So it makes me think that is more a server side issue than the script issue. Any help would be really appreciated.

I\'m developping a new site and everything was ok until today. Images are not shown correctly, in your website too (for exemple, \"dynamic\", I can\'t see the lower part of y, both in IE and FF). Are there a problem? Thanks for your answer! touristic Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:08:55 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/use_a_custom_font_on_your_website.html#josc11695 Hey.
