Hi All,
Does Joomla support weft (font embedding technology).
If yes, how do you do it.
I have a template from Joomlart and need to embed fonts.
Thanks for your help guys.

Fond the solution.

Need to use microsoft WEFT tool and create .eot file using “no subsetting”. Copy the .eot file to the server and edit the template.css file with the code below
@font-face {
font-family: ML-TTRevathi;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(http://10.1.10.156/MLTTREV0.eot);
}

Creating .eot file is lil tricky. You need to specify the right allowed roots (give a lil attention here.)

Event WEFT is very good solutions to use fonts from server, however, this technology only supports IE. You can take a look on the demo from microsoft site: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/demos/1/demo1.htm

Not cross browser means nothing, in my idea.

I guess it’s pretty similar to sIFR then.

There are some sIFR modules/plugins available too:

if there is no cross browser compatibility, i wouldn’t use it.

I’m pretty sure sIFR has cross browser compatibility – I’m using it on my personal site (http://www.anisjolly.co.uk)

However – my personal site isn’t a joomla site yet.
