Web typography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Web fonts allow Web designers to use fonts that are not installed on the viewer's computer.
Web typography refers to the use of fonts on the World Wide Web. When HTML was first
created, font faces and styles were controlled exclusively by the settings of each Web
browser. There was no mechanism for individual Web pages to control font display
until Netscape introduced the <font> tag in 1995, which was then standardized in the
HTML 2 specification. However, the font specified by the tag had to be installed on the
user's computer or a fallback font, such as a browser's default sansserif or monospacefont, would be used. The first Cascading Style Sheets specification was
published in 1996 and provided the same capabilities.
The CSS2 specification was released in 1998 and attempted to improve the font selection
process by adding font matching, synthesis and download. These techniques did not gain
much use, and were removed in the CSS2.1 specification. However, Internet
Exploreradded support for the font downloading feature in version 4.0, released in 1997.
[1] Font downloading was later included in the CSS3 fonts module, and has since been
implemented in Safari 3.1, Opera 10 and Mozilla Firefox 3.5. This has subsequently
increased interest in Web typography, as well as the usage of font downloading.

CSS1[edit]
In the first CSS specification,[2] authors specified font characteristics via a series of
properties:
font-family
font-style
font-variant
font-weight
font-size
All fonts were identified solely by name. Beyond the properties mentioned above, designers
had no way to style fonts, and no mechanism existed to select fonts not present on the
client system.
Web-safe fonts[edit]
Web-safe fonts are fonts likely to be present on a wide range of computer systems, and
used by Web content authors to increase the likelihood that content displays in their chosen
font. If a visitor to a Web site does not have the specified font, their browser tries to select a
similar alternative, based on the author-specified fallback fonts and generic families or it
uses font substitution defined in the visitor's operating system.
Since being released under Microsoft'sCore fonts for the Web program, Arial, Georgia, and Verdana
have become three de facto fonts of the Web.
Fallback fonts[edit]
Main article: Fallback font
The CSS specification allows for multiple fonts to be listed as fallback fonts. [6] In CSS,
the font-family property accepts a list of comma-separated font faces to use, like so:
font-family: Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", "Liberation Sans", Arial,
sans-serif;
The first font specified is the preferred font. If this font is not available, the Web browser
attempts to use the next font in the list. If none of the fonts specified are found, the browser
displays its default font. This same process also happens on a per-character basis if the
browser tries to display a character not present in the specified font.
Web fonts[edit]
History[edit]
A technique to download remote fonts was first specified in the CSS2
specification, which introduced the @font-face rule.
It was (and remains[8]) controversial because using a remote font as
part of a Web page allows the font to be freely downloaded. This could
result in fonts being used against the terms of their license or illegally
spread through the Web. TrueDoc (PFR), Embedded OpenType (EOT)
and Web Open Font Format (WOFF) are formats designed to address
these issues.
Since the introduction of Internet Explorer 4, font embedding
employing EOT has been used mainly for displaying characters
in writing systems that are not supported by default fonts. Use on
English-language Web sites was virtually non-existent. With the
releases of Firefox 3.5, Opera 10 and Safari 3.1, usage employing
other formats is expected to increase.
File formats[edit]
Main article: Comparison of layout engines (Web Typography)
By using a specific CSS @font-face embedding technique[9] it is
possible to embed fonts such that they work with IE4+, Firefox 3.5+,
Safari 3.1+, Opera 10+ and Chrome 4.0+. This allows the vast majority
of Web users to access this functionality. Some commercial foundries
object to the redistribution of their fonts. For example, Hoefler & Frere-
1.
All versions of the SVG 1.1 specification, including
the SVGT subset, define a font module allowing the creation
of fonts within an SVG document. Safari introduced support
for many of these properties in version 3. Opera added
preliminary support in version 8.0, with support for more
properties in 9.0.
2.
The SVG specification lets CSS apply to SVG
documents in a similar manner to HTML documents, and
the @font-face rule can be applied to text in SVG
documents. Opera added support for this in version 10,
[12] and WebKit since version 325 also supports this method
using SVG fonts only.
Scalable Vector Graphics Fonts[edit]
SVG fonts is a W3C standard of fonts using SVG graphic that is now a
subset of OpenType fonts.[13] This allows multicolor[14] or animated
fonts.[15] It was first a subset of SVG 1.1 specifications [16] The SVG fonts
as independent format is supported by most browsers apart from IE
and Firefox, and is deprecated in Chrome (and Chromium). [17] That's
now generally deprecated; the standard that most browser vendor
agreed with is SVG font subset included in OpenType (and then
WOFF superset, see below), calledSVGOpenTypeFonts.[18] Firefox has
supported SVG OpenType since Firefox 26. All major browsers should
comply soon.[19]
TrueType/OpenType[edit]
Main articles: TrueType and OpenType
Linking to industry-standard TrueType (TTF) and OpenType (TTF/OTF)
fonts are supported by Mozilla Firefox 3.5+, Opera 10+, [20] Safari 3.1+,
[21] Google Chrome 4.0+. [22]Internet Explorer 9+ supports only those
fonts with embedding permissions set to installable.[23]
Web Open Font Format[edit]
Main article: Web Open Font Format
WOFF has been supported by Mozilla Firefox 3.6+,[24] Google
Chrome 5+,[25][26] Opera Presto,[27] and is supported by Internet Explorer
9 (since March 14, 2011).[28] Support is available on Mac OS X
Lion's Safari from release 5.1.
Unicode fonts[edit]
Only two fonts available by default on the Windows platform, Microsoft
Sans Serif and Lucida Sans Unicode, provide a
wide Unicode character repertoire. A bug in Verdana (and the different
handling of it by various user agents) hinders its usability
where combining characters are desired.
Alternatives[edit]
A common hurdle in Web design is the design of mockups that include
fonts that are not Web-safe. There are a number of solutions for
situations like this. One common solution is to replace the text with a
similar Web-safe font or use a series of similar-looking fallback fonts.
Another technique is image replacement. This practice involves
overlaying text with an image containing the same text written in the
desired font. This is good for aesthetic purposes, but prevents text
selection, increases bandwidth use, and is bad for search engine
optimization.
Also common is the use of Flash-based solutions such as sIFR. This is
similar to image replacement techniques, though the text is selectable
and rendered as a vector. However, this method requires the presence
of a proprietary plugin on a client's system.
Another solution is using Javascript to replace the text with VML (for
Internet Explorer) or SVG (for all other browsers).[29]
Font hosting services allow users to pay a subscription to host nonWeb-safe fonts online. Most services host the font for the user and
provide the necessary @font-face CSS declaration.
An example of a CSS @font-face setup:
@charset "utf-8";
@font-face {
font-family: 'Journal';
src: url('http://yourown.site/fonts/journal/journal.woff')
format('woff'),
url('http://yourown.site/fonts/journal/journal.svg#Journal')
format('svg'),
url('http://yourown.site/fonts/journal/journal.ttf')
format('truetype'),
url('http://yourown.site/fonts/journal/journal.eot'),
url('http://yourown.site/fonts/journal/journal.eot?#iefix')
format('embedded-opentype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Practical considerations[edit]
This section requires expansion.
(August 2014)
In practice, it matters not only what web browser the audience is using
but also how their operating system is configured. In 2010, type
designer and consultant Thomas Phinney (Vice President
of FontLab and formerly with Adobe[30]) wrote a step-by-step process
for finding the best rendering solution, whichmore or less jokingly
uses a large number of goto statements.[31] A more visually
oriented flow chart was posted in the same year on
the Typophile forum by Miha Zajec.[32]

Template Language
Although you dont have to use it in order to send emails with
MailChimp, our template language is a powerful, easy way to code
your own email templates that are reusable and editable from within
the application.
mc:hideable
mc:hideable is used to provide a hide/show action for a
particular element within a template.
Syntax: mc:hideable
The remove and hide section buttons dont offer the same
functionality in the template editor. In fact, you cant actually remove
anything while working in the template editor. If you need to make
changes like that, we suggest you work in the campaign builder
instead.
mc:repeatable
mc:repeatable is used to provide a duplication action for a
particular element within a template.
Syntax: mc:repeatable
mc:label
mc:label is an optional tag used to name an editable section
within the application.
Syntax: mc:label=header_image
mc:variant
mc:variant is used to provide a way to switch between discrete
blocks of HTML.
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<img src="..." mc:edit="left_image" />
</td>
<td valign="top">
<div mc:edit="right_content">
