Details (In reply to Jonathan Kew (:jfkthame) from comment #10) To get the Black face under GDI (I assume - have not tested) and to get Roboto Black across both platforms, something like GDI doesn't recognize Roboto Black as belonging to the Roboto family, and so font-weight can't find it. Will give you Roboto Bold rather than Black? If so, that's expected - it's simply the same issue, in reverse. Does anyone happen to know if oneĭo you mean that under GDI rendering, something like > The wrong font face is applied, like Roboto Bold instead of Roboto Black. > Sans ExtraLight, Ubuntu Medium and various Roboto font faces. When hardware acceleration is disabled, Firefox doesn't recognize DejaVu If we do add a font-family-compatibility hack of some kind, we can probably resolve these reports as duplicates. I just don't think anyone has been focusing on the issue for the time being, beyond recognizing that it exists and that it's really a case of authors misunderstanding the font family model(s). If and when we decide on a resolution, it should apply to them all. Yes, we have several reports that are really the same underlying issue.

Don't they describe the exact But there's not been any clear decision as to exactly what (if anything) to do. I guess the bugs haven't simply been closed as INVALID because there's been some discussion of possibly adding hacks to deal with some of the common author confusion here. Is this recognized as a valid issue or not?Īs explained (here, by Boris and John, as well as elsewhere) this is not really a bug, it is behaving as designed, given that we're dealing with two different font platforms - GDI and DirectWrite - that present different font family structures. This report is still unconfirmed, while identical ones about other fonts > I hope someone can clear up a few things. I’m sold.(In reply to Gingerbread Man from comment #9) If it works for them, chances are it works for you as well. they have been using System Fonts for years.Įven the Wordpress dashboard - that runs millions of websites - uses system fonts, and Medium, which is all about reading, decided to use system fonts. You might know one of these, as an example: System Fonts offer the great advantage of speed and performance, and a reduction of your web page size.īut as a side effect, they make your website look very familiar to anyone looking at it, because they are used to see that same font every day on their computer or mobile device.Īnd as it’s the system font, it’s guaranteed to look great. Operating Systems have great default fonts. The font must load before the content renders, so you need to wait for that resource loading to complete before the user is able to read even a single word you wrote.īut Web Fonts are a way to provide an awesome user experience through good typography. This cost is especially impactful on mobile, where every byte you require is impacting the load time, and the amount of bandwidth you make your users consume. If you have the choice (and by this I mean, you’re not implementing a design that a client gave you), you might want to think about it, in a move to go back to the basics (but in style!) The impact of Web FontsĮverything you load on your pages has a cost. You can use whatever font you wish to use, by relying on a service like Google Fonts, or providing your own font to download. If you’re a young web developer you might not realize it, but in 2012 we still had articles explaining this new technology of Web Fonts.

The first was Typekit in 2009, and later Google Fonts got hugely popular thanks to its free was implemented in all the major browsers, and nowadays it’s a given on every reasonably recent device. In 2008 Safari and Firefox introduced the CSS property, and online services started to provide licenses to Web Fonts. If you wanted to use a fancy font you had to use images. Other fonts were not guaranteed to work on all websites. For years, websites could only use fonts available on all computers, such as Georgia, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman.
