[Xerte] Font stuff

I guess none of the link stuff is supported by Flash right?

Use system fonts if you can and use the ones we know look OK. Embedded fonts look great, but need a lot more work, and they tend to look good at bigger sizes: at small sizes they look smudged to me. That’s my preference anyway: I don’t really have any complaint with Verdana. From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Dave Burnett

Any suggestions as to the preferred font to use in an academic piece?

System vs embedded?
System fonts look like schmoe to me, but embedding them requires all sorts of acrobatics if you have various tags, <i> <b> etc.

And any way to get internal links to use hover and/or followed link colour conventions?
I've tried a few .css things but no luck, and trapping, colouring and rewriting them is a PITA.

Cheers;

Dave

p.s. for you folks working under the hood, Julian introduced me to the speedy world of code in components.
A routine that was taking 8 seconds :-( within Xerte now takes .035 when run compiled inside a component.
