In any event, it is defintely supported in IE6, IE7 and IE8. It is supported in FireFox only, as of FF3.6 Internet Explorer and Explorer has been implementing support since version 4*. WOFF is a new format that Mozilla is hoping will become the browser standard. Also check out FontSquirrel to convert your font files to differing formats (EOT, SVG, WOFF) for greater browser support. Note: Digging deeper, I found Becoming a font embedding master which both explains a link on where you can convert TTF2EOT so you can display similarly on IE than on good browsers (yeah, I said it) and exporting to SVG for font support on iPhone 3.1, Chrome 2 & 3, and 4 less than 4.0.249.78, and Opera 9 (your SVG font will work in Opera 10 and future versions of FF, Chrome, iPhone and Safari as well).
Like with all site enhancement features, feel free to include fonts of type TTF/OTF, but make sure to pick a font backup that degrades nicely. Google chrome users tend to be quick at updating, but stats don’t indicate the version number, so as of right now you can’t assume that Chrome has turned ON as the default settings for most users. While developers have been able to turn on support in Chrome in their own environment, only Chrome users who have updated to the Janurelease have it on by default. Chrome has supporte SVG fonts for a while now. * SVG is supported, but it’s a larger file size Google Chrome and Chrome actually does support but it was turned off by default until version 4.0.249.78 released on 1/25/20. Why do you need to know the history? Because, it means there is actually a feature of CSS3 that internet explorer supports, albeit, differently than all other supporting browsers.īecause I am browser support table happy, here is the browser support table: CSS supports SVG
enables you to provide your own font(s), eliminates the need to depend on the limited number of fonts users have installed on their computers Browser Support for introduced CSS2.1 killed it. With we can worry less about what font our users have installed, and make our sites better match the intentions of our designers. Increasing support of the CSS3 allows us to load a font onto our servers, link to and name that font in our CSS, and then use that font we’ve imported as if it were a native font in the client’s environment. What is we’ve been limited to using the fonts pre-installed on MS Windows, Mac and Linux OSs.
