New CSS System in the Firefox 3.5
Mozilla has made some changes to Firefox 3.5. First, this company added some features which support geo location, HTML 5, and faster engine. Next, a new CSS system is also added. By using this new rule, the customers are able to make web typography to be more attractive. Great! It is a good news for all of web programmers.
The new CSS rule here is @font_face. It is a system which makes us to reference uninstalled fonts in our PC. What you have to do is going to JavaScript file in the users’ web page code or server based stylesheet. Therefore, you can make a reference for the fonts.
This innovation from Mozilla solved a problem about some fonts which don’t have styles but easy to read such as Verdana. By using the @font_face feature, our webs are easy to read and more attractive. We also don’t have to add other plugins or Flash. As we know, mostly font founders do not prepare for making a reference to uninstalled fonts. They also usually do not have a license from the used fonts. Therefore, by using the @font_face feature, the web designers are able to develop a web more attractive.
To prevent some sites use the fonts available in other sites, the Firefox 3.5 provides protection system to us. In addition, this browser only permits us to load fonts if the fonts are available in the same sites.
