Neat article, thanks! Good tips on CSS, but don’t forget the JavaScript aspect as well. Progressive enhancement works miracles. Best to use unobtrusive JavaScript, only to enhance behavior, and sniff for browser support, not specific browser type.

Argh, I was having this trouble with my Tumblr theme. The above .htaccess code really helped. If only they could host the fonts….

Comment on Cool cross-browser styling with CSS and IE’s filter by fewa

@Chrissteven81: It’s just that IE doesn’t follow any standards. Usually when we develop website layouts for applications, we first make them work with Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari.

IE comes later if we have time, because making layouts look nice on it takes more time because of all the “IE-only” tricks it requires. After seven years into this business, I have yet to see any benefit in NOT following the standard. These IE-only things don’t provide any more possibilities than the standard ones.

However, of course we understand that many people still use IE and that’s why we have to take the time to provide support for our web applications that are being used in IE.

Thanks for this collection mate it´s a very good resource. I´m considering using Garamond on a very big project I´m working on, but am hesitant as it renders terribly on Windows. Although it´s very beautiful on mac on both Safari and Chrome.

The insight into Typekit will be very useful, thanks again

Thank you for letting me know. The link indeed was linked to kernest.com instead of http://www.fontshop.com/blog/?cat=80. It’s fixed now.

Great list, but the link to Web FontFonts is wrong.

I think you have to replace background; ... ; with background: ... ;
The best thing is to auto generate such CSS3 stuff:

I’m not sure what this is .. but it contains a syntax error.
“background; -o-gradient(top, bottom,from(#cccccc),to(#888888));”
Also I’ve found another opacity solution that I’m pretty fond of. You can view it here: http://snipplr.com/view/28205/cross-browser-css-opacity/
