So, uh, like Web Fonts, then?
- _ZeD_ 12y agoyou mean "in a totally different way", do you? you are comparing a gem replacing, in a string with html content, a text fragment with an '<img />' tag, with a way to load and apply custom font from a remote location to a web page text region. While, closing one eye, the effect of the two solution are similar, the solutions are totally different from the technological point of view, from the abstraction layer when they are applied to the practical implications (try to do a simple cut-n-paste from the browser to a text editor, for example)
- slapresta 12y agoI know they're technically different; what I wanted to point out is that it's not such a far-fetched idea.
