Greetings, I need a script or ideas to check if a font is installed on the viewers machine. If true, display page. If false, display font download page. I'd like this preferably done in PHP if possible. I'v tried using WEFT and it just simple is worthless for what I need. Thanks a million.
I think there's no way of doing that right now. Although if you want to use your fonts on a user's page, you can check out a library called sIFR, it basically creates small flash texts using your font and replaces the corresponding text on your webpage. Alternatively, you can define several different comma separated fonts, so that if one is not available, it will attempt to find the next one down in the list.
You can't access visitor fonts from PHP. Try this or similar javascript solution: http://www.lalit.org/lab/javascript-css-font-detect
This is as close as you're going to get at the moment. http://developer.mozilla.org/web-te...1-an-overview-of-features-for-web-developers/
