I have added a new font to my Kinney County site as well as added birth and baptism records from the 1880's/90's. The new font is in the middle of the page I have put headers over the top of the counties around Kinney and over the information underneath. I would like to know if everything shows up alright in your browsers. The new headers should be in cursive but they don't seem to be showing up that way in my Firefox browser. I am using a font that I downloaded from fontsquirrel.com it is called: AlexBrush-Regular-OTF. Any help would be appreciated as I am trying to update my pages and bring them into HTML5 format.

John, did you upload the font to the server? It has to be on the server to auto download to the client. Also the Font Rule in CSS3 only works on IE9...no earlier versions. It is supposed to be compatible with Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari but it is not showing up on my admittedly OLD and OUT OF DATE Firefox. There is also information on IE only working with .eot fonts and the others supporting .ttf and .otf... so it doesn't look like anything is gonna work across the board...especially on IE. http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_font-face_rule.asp You might subscribe to the CSS discuss list and see if anyone has any advice.

I would suggest caution when using non-standard fonts. The font has to be on the users machine, or it has to be embedded in the page to download and install (not a good option!!). If you are going to use a non-standard font, and by non-standard I mean a font that does not come with the operating system (whether Win, Mac, & now Android!), be sure to use font-family in your css and "fall back" to where you have default fonts at the end. ie: font-family: Alexbrush, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; (which you do)... but most surfers will not have Alexbrush on their computer so they will never see it the same way you do. Or if possible you make an text image using the font and everything will be fine. Basically, I wouldn't try to use a specific font since odds are the user will never see it!!! (I never use the font-family property). Suzie told you about the CSS3 myfirstfont, so you can try that.... but I'd still be leary about it as you are downloading something behind the scenes!! As for updating your pages to be html/css compliant, there are a few errors... mostly obsolete html parameters that should be in css. And the css has a few syntax errors, but it is close!! Let me know if you need more detail or anything. jimmy On 07/17/2013 11:32 AM, John Quigley wrote: > I have added a new font to my Kinney County site as well as added birth and > baptism records from the 1880's/90's.
