Flash Website Font

Flash Web Font

When you add content to your web page using html or css, you can use any font that you have on your local system by using Flash Website Font, however, if a visitor comes to your site and they don't have the font you have used, your page could well look a disaster.

 

sIFR on the other hand allows Website headings, pull-quotes and other elements to be styled in any font by enabling the designer to embed the font of their choice in a Flash element that displays the text. As a result the font used does not have to be installed on the visitors machine and it is searchable by search engines

 

Web Font Sample

 

I have used 2 different fonts to display the H1, H2 and H3 heading tags but you can assign a font to any element that can be styled by a font.

Tips and Tricks

 

  • Our software requires you to use Normal DPI Settings for your system. If any of this interface is not displaying properly, right-click your Desktop and select Properties > Settings Tab > Advanced button. Select "Normal (96 DPI)" from the drop-down, then restart your system.
  • If you're setting multiple headings, try scale them down according to size (h1 being the largest and h6 being the smallest) so they correspond with the HTML defaults.
  • The HTML code is divided between the Head and Body tags, so make sure these are present in your code.
  • This application will not create new content, only modify the presentation of existing code. Make sure your HTML is valid -- Validator.w3.org.
  • CoffeeCup Website Font can only use fonts contained within the application. We do offer more font packages for this program on our website. Click the "Get More Fonts" button for more information.
  • Make sure you don't have two styles for the same tag since this can cause problems. You can change the tags from the Settings tab.
  • You can use the background color option to match your site. This can make it appear as if the background is transparent and your visitors will see it as regular text.
  • You should only replace fonts in areas where you would have to use an image instead of regular body copy, since you can only copy a single line at a time.
  • Because standard HTML treats headings as block-level elements, there will always be a line-break both before and after the heading.
  • If you're already using CSS you can copy the font-size and text-align attributes into the all.css and screen.css files to keep the same formatting.
  • You can Preview the fonts to make sure they'll look correct before inserting the code into your site.
  • The body code uses a javascript to switch your text, so if you need to replace the code look for this script just before the closing Body tag.
  • If you start a New font document you'll need to Add the first tag using the Add Tag button.
  • When adding new fonts, place them in the C:\Program Files\CoffeeCup Software\CoffeeCup Website Font\fonts directory.
  • The link and hover colors will display if there is a link nested within that tag (inside a em for example).
  • Because the browsers cache swf files, you may need to delete temporary internet files (clear the cache) and refresh your page to view any changes after uploading.
  • When you're ready to upload the files to your server you can press the Upload Button. This will launch our FTP software with the same profiles found in our other software. If you have never used our software you can add a profile by clicking the "Add" button from the MySites window.
  • Should any of the fonts display incorrectly, there is probably an error in the HTML. Make sure all tags are closed correctly and that no block-level elements are nested together.
  • You don't have to use different font styles for each tag. Sticking to one style or type (script, decorative, serif) can help keep the cohesiveness of your site together.
  • To disable these tips, uncheck the "Show Tips on Startup" option under the Help menu or when this box displays.
