I don't know a lot about web design. Can someone explain to me how my browser rendered that page with the new Averiá font, even though I don't have this font installed? Can web pages include an external font library or something?
- TazeTSchnitzel 15y agoYeah. There's two ways to do it, of which this page uses the latter: - CSS3's new font-face extension, supported by newer browsers, allows specifying custom fonts to be loaded for a page - Cufon, a JavaScript program which runs in your browser, can download and render the fonts, replacing each word with a generated image (works in some older browsers too)
- wunderland 15y agoThank you! I'm learning a lot about fonts on HN today.
- whileonebegin 15y agoI'm guessing this is why you can't select or copy/paste any of the text.
- joejohnson 15y agoI'm able to select text and copy/paste. I'm using the latest Chrome beta.
