Hi,

Great job JA on their New Website look.

We have started working on JA Lead for a project. The big problem we are having is that we would like the font BOSOX to be integrated with MENUS, MODULE TITLES, and basically replace the titles in the articles and stuff.

I noticed there is already a feature called “Cufon” which creates images from the text, but only works in latin characters (can not be implemented for unicode). This is fine, I mean as long as this feature can be changed to BOSOX font face, then the rest is no problem.

Can this be done?

Google fonts was an option, but their a very narrow selection choice, and nothing close to this font?

Any idea?

The other thing we came up with, was to create (replace) the existing dynamic text menu, with static images. What is the best of doing this? Like having images and assign them to each menu. CSS IDs? or what? :confused:

Thanks a lot for anyone taking time to read my post.

Ali.

Looking at the template.css file there are two instances declaring the font type ( font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ) those are line 20 and 233

I’d look at changing that dec to bosox and see what happens, of course changing the font may change kerning; padding etc if the font is radically different to a non serif font such as arial

Hi Shannon,

Thanks for your reply, but please do NOT forget that my BOSOX font is not a font included in Windows or MAC OSX or Linux. It is a custom font out there which by default is not installed on computers, and setting the css to that, will not show it up.

I am thinking of more advanced/smarter ways for implemeting this, which is either using existing Cufon and changing it to my font face, or using google fonts, or, at the end, switching the menu texts to images getting their properties from the CSS according to their IDs.

Any idea anyone?

Thanks,
Ali.
