Re: Firefox 3.5 is out!

Here's hopin'!

IE, naturally, doesn't support it. You need to use a tool to convert True-Type (not OpenType) fonts with their Windows-only tool. I would really, really love to be wrong about this. Please, someone show me that I'm wrong. Please.

If I used emoticons, I'd use the one with its eyes rolling at the hoops Microsoft makes us jump through.

Re: Firefox 3.5 is out!

Oh, I'm not blaming Google or the engineer at all. I think it's cool someone picked up the project. It's the fact that we have to do any of it that chafes. There's a standard. Microsoft has decided instead to do something that is more difficult, of minimal value, requires a lot of hoop-jumping, reduces the functionality of their software to their own users, and isn't Mac-compatible.

I mean, I can understand their point on the last one. What designer uses a Mac anyway?

Re: Firefox 3.5 is out!

http://code.google.com/p/ttf2eot

it mentions it was only tested on GNU/Linux, but there's no apparent 
reason why it won't run on a Mac. Just needs to be built with make 
(you'll probably need to install Xcode Tools for that -- it's on the OSX 
install DVD)

Re: Firefox 3.5 is out!

would it be too difficult/impractical to have this run on a font 
submitted to the OFLB and generate the .eot on demand?

i can see the issue in providing files in (another) closed format 
though. On the other hand, it would eliminate that significant hurdle 
(IE support) and allow for a statement that fonts in OFLB are 
cross-browser compatible. Long shot?
