People who have never had to make a website often wonder, why don’t people use nicer or unique fonts?
People who make the websites wish that they could!
I know that I’m bored with Verdana, Arial, and Times New Roman (or their Apple equivalents). But, since we can’t guarantee that every computer will have every font, that’s pretty much what we are stuck using.
While we can’t change the font of the main content of our webpages, we do use some tricks to get nice headers. In fact, we’ve just updated print-bingo.com’s decorative font headers. We’ve had them for a couple years, but our (now) older software tool didn’t work with the latest Adobe Flash Player, version 10. We’ve also changed the font that we use… we hope you like it.
For the geeks: We’re running SIFR 3 v.436. The font file was built with a free online sIFR font generator, and we were formerly using sIFR 2.
When will we see the day where crazy steps aren’t needed for a nicely rendered web page?
