Hi all,

Has anyone here grappled @font-face and successfully used it across all browsers?

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone here grappled @font-face

In fact, I use the @font-face rule on my own site in conjunction the TTF format, if I remember correctly. In my 'font-family' rule for that custom, I also provide a common font stack so user agents who don't have the capability to use the custom font, will render a platform-agnostic font instead.

AFAIK, there has been support for the construct in Firefox since v3.5, Safari since 3.1, Opera since v10 (still currently in Beta),and IE since v4.

Firefox, Safari and Opera all support OpenType and TrueType formats, whereas IE only supports its proprietary Embedded OpenType format.

There has recently been a lot of discussion (on www-style, in particular) regarding DRM and how font foundries should manage font distribution, and how to minimise copyright infringement.
