Techniques for Anti-Aliasing @font-face on Windows

#Techniques for Anti-Aliasing @font-face on Windows

It all started with an email from a client: Do these fonts look funky to you? The title is prickly.

The font in question was Port Lligat Sans from Google Web Fonts.

The "prickly" is aliasing caused by lack of hinting

Static Site Generators

Backstory: I decided to crowdsource static site generator recommendations, so the following are actual real world suggested-to-me results. I then took those and sorted them by language/server and, just for a decent relative metric, their Github Watcher count. If you want a heap of other projects (including other languages like Haskell and Python) Nanoc has the mother of all site generator lists. If you recommend another one, by all means add a comment.

Webkit Pseudo-Element Selectors (Shadow DOM Elements)

An ongoing project to catalogue all of these sneaky, hidden, bleeding edge selectors as I prepare my JSConf EU 2012 talk.

Everything is broken up by tag, but within each the selectors aren't particularly ordered.

I have not tested/verified all of these. Have I missed some or got it wrong? Let me know. - A

A friendly reminder that you may need to set this property on your target/selected element to get the styling results you want:

-webkit-appearance:none;

When I was a beginner…

This is a little exercise to try remember the things I struggled with, when I got started with web development. It's too easy to forget about those things after years in business. I think it's super important to keep the ability to put yourself back into the position of a beginner from time to time in order to not overcomplicate your own work and to not throw the typical "just" and "simply" sentences at other people, who get started.

The following list is not complete or very detailed. It's really all about writing down some memories quickly. Feel free to follow this experiment for yourself if you think it's useful.

HTML

  • Breaks. Why the hell doesn't text wrap in the browser when I add a line break to the source code?
  • Paths: I absolutely struggled with the basic concept of absolute and relative paths and why stuff doesn't get loaded correctly when I messed paths up in URLs.
