Talk:Web-safe fonts

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Need to include a section on Web Safe Monospace (Fixed-width) Fonts such as Courier, Courier New, Andale Mono, and Lucide Console. I'm not editing the page since I'm not positive these are all available.

How could Comic Sans be left out of this list! It is widely available. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.186.145.171 (talk) 19:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Workarounds

[edit]

The Myth Of ‘Web-Safe’ Fonts is probably relevant to the workarounds section, but obviously I can't add it myself due to guidelines against linking to your own site. CSS @ Ten: The Next Big Thing provides another workaround (although it has limited browser support currently). —Safalra (talk) 11:51, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CSS font-family is web-safe?

[edit]

if fantasy is so web-safe, why does it display as a handwritten kursiv font in iE and as Verdanna in Firefox, both on Vista32 --89.247.239.62 (talk) 05:03, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image Replacement Techniques

[edit]

Image replacement techniques are indistinguishable (to search engines) from cloaking. If a website cloaks content many search engines (google, yahoo, etc) will delist it. This technique should not be encouraged, the article should at the very least include a disclaimer.97.83.161.77 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:44, 13 July 2009 (UTC).[reply]
