Brendan It's a scam.. I regularly get similar emails to magic convention guide asking about the same sort of thing... The rock solid evidence for mine was when they asked about their registration for "test event convention" ;) It's basically the start of an overpay/refund scam.. They harve...

Jonathan That's very true... The polite requests to wiki were met with very much "tough" responses Removing the password in a wiki edit met with a wrist slaps for those doing it and a reverse of the entry to list it again.. They argued it was being censored by editing it out Adding the &qu...

Sorry to have troubled you then.. ;) Mr goat.. Yup I have lots of things to do... The situation here is that people have asked wikipedia to remove the password, they have refused. If someone is genuinely interested in getting something, they make some sort of effort. The case in fact here is that wi...

WikiPedia in their wisdom have decided the that password to the magicians only section of Derren Browns site (the area selling the Devils Picture Book DVD) is public domain and they can publish it for all to use.. WikiPedia editors are refusing the remove the password, and as fast as we are removing...

Right, didn't know about that. Cool.

However, that does mean stopping using images and starting using text, right? Just prettier text.

nope just means you can use all three :)

1. text
2. pretty text
and 3.images that appear to google as text

naquada

Right: the problem is not the font itself, but rather that the text is actually an image file. Any font used in the same manner would have the same problem. Damian's suggestion would help with that. -Jim in a way yes.. you could add 'alt' tags to the images/filenames to make it more google friendly...

naquada

if you know what your doing then you can take any truetype, otf etc font, and have it rendered into a font that can be used as a normal font on a site using normal text, in very much the same way as the google font API uses..

naquada

actually mr goat thats not quite true.. there are many ways to allow google and other systems to read custom fonts, and use pretty much any font you like in a webpage..
