just checked again, and they've dropped the Arial MT Rounded Bold out of the stack. At least, that's what they were doing a few months ago when I last looked at their code. (Technically, per Kent's comment, Glitch is using RockoFLF, with Arial MT Rounded Bold as the second font in the stack. Other options include using Google's web-font Nunito (as Kent Brewster recommended a few minutes ago), or setting up a font-face font on your own server, providing one of the rounded fonts (RockoFLF Bold, FF Din Rounded, Nunito, and Arial MT Rounded Bold are all options). (Usually, I just find the named font and add a space into the name of it, which "breaks" the call to the proper font, and the browser then moves on to the next font in the stack.) One way to test this is to use Firebug, to 'inspect element' for the headline (or whatever the font is applied to), and to edit the font-family listing in the right-hand Firebug pane. There's a good chance that - if nothing changed (on your local browser's rendering of the webpage) when you changed the font stack - that you don't actually have Arial MT Rounded Bold installed on your computer. Alternatively, like many font issues, the problem can be mitigated by supplying a list of font families to use as fall-backs. Probably the best solution is to either use a different (standard) font or (as Kent suggests) find a similar web font that will work in all modern browsers. There have been issues with this "feature" of FF since version 4. When viewed in IE, Chrome or FF with hardware acceleration turned off the font appears correctly, like this.īut when viewed in FF with hardware acceleration enabled the browser fails to "find" the specified font so it defaults to another, like this. One I've observed is failing to render a non-standard font (such as "Arial MT Rounded Bold") despite it being present on the client machine.īody It's been know to cause several problems with font rendering.
