#ROCKWELL WEBFONT HOW TO#
PIR generates 32-bit PNGs, so it can deliver full transparency (it'll even make the font itself transparent if the visitor is using a browser that knows how to handle transparent colors). There is also a FastCGI backend in development by one of my users. It grabs all relevant information from the CSS directly, and can even handle word-wrapping automatically. I'm the developer of PIR, which is an unobtrusive and super-lightweight javascript-based image replacer that uses a PHP backend to generate the images. SIFR is always an option, but it can really slow down a page, especially if you use a lot of it. This will allow visitors who are using advanced browsers but don't have Rockwell installed to still get the full effect of your typography, while allowing visitors with lesser browsers to still gracefully degrade to another font.įinally, if you really need to hit IE with the font, go with image replacement. Go ahead and add Webfont support now for Rockwell, giving it as the second choice in the font stack (behind ordinary Rockwell). This module lets you host fonts on your server and transparently feed it to visitors when they visit, allowing you to use a vast array of fonts that aren't dependably available.
All of the modern non-IE browsers either support CSS Webfonts now or will in their next release. The current accepted answer recommends using a proper CSS font stack to feed Rockwell to visitors that have it, and more-common-but-less-suitable fonts to those without. It is installed with certain versions of Office. Rockwell® Light Designer: Monotype Studio Foundry: Monotype Classifications: Serif, Slab Serif Buy from 39.
I, for example, am typing this on a perfectly ordinary Windows box and don't have it. As others have stated, Rockwell is not a websafe font.
