Oh wait. It's not working because there is NO css for illuminated. There's only HTML. That's why it looks like Geocities. mk - can you check the file?

I'm going to tweak colors and I'll send you the updated snippets of CSS and images for that in a minute.

I fixed the file, but apparently going to .woff only didn't work out. I'll fix that. Can you tweak the colors on the hosted image? It's a bit smaller.

Yeah you have to have all the fonts for all the different browsers. Each one takes a different one. They have to be in a specific order as well or it'll fail. I usually just make the kits with http://www.fontsquirrel.com/

       @font-face {
               font-family: 'essays1743bold';
               src: url('font/essays1743-bold-webfont.eot');
               src: url('font/essays1743-bold-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
                         url('font/essays1743-bold-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
                         url('font/essays1743-bold-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
                         url('font/essays1743-bold-webfont.svg#essays1743bold') format('svg');
               font-weight: normal;
               font-style: normal;
       }
@kleinbl00 - You think this is too light?

mk is making these changes right now, not me.

It was me. I didn't replace the comma with a semi-colon following the woff src: when I was trimming fat. woff should work for everyone now, even IE. It might be a shortcoming, but I hate having big old files for edge cases. svg files are often 5x as large as woff.

So no IE8, Android Browsers except for the very current one which no one has (fucking android). That's semi-acceptable. The Android hurts though. It's going to be a good 2-3 years before a majority of people are on 4.4+.

Yeah, maybe we should add ttf, at least for the two default fonts. If people want to get illuminated, they can upgrade their device first.

We could have heavy fallback on the font-familiy: rather than the font type themselves. What fonts are installs on Android?

    There are only 3 fonts available as part of android; normal (Droid Sans), serif (Droid Serif), and monospace (Droid Sans Mono).

Hm...
