Jan 24, 2011 at 22:09  [reply]  Web fonts with CSS @font-face

Nowdays @font-face works with all common browsers - provided you use the correct coding. I do not understand what you mean with "Are there any plans to work with @font-face on dafont.com?". Why would dafont do so? What would it add?

Here is what the characters look like in FontCreator

No wonder with so many overlapping contours. So first get Union of contours for your glyphs.

... I always wanted to know Koeiekat: do you have a cat that looks like a cow???
;-)

Does The Kat have a cat? The Kat is The Kat.

Why my name? In a local Dutch dialect 'goede' (good) is pronounced as 'goeie' with a very harsh g, almost a k, and, as I happen to be black and white like the Frisians, it is not too difficult to imagine where my name comes from. I just happen to be a good black and white cat. Very good say most, so maybe it should have been heelkoeiekat

hanoded, feels like you are missing the point. Readme files are bound to get lost or not read. Whatever name they may have. Thus, pointing to a readme file in the font file does not solve the problem.
There is only one way out, fill-in all (ALL!!) the fields in the naming section of the font. Both for Mac and Windows and even better also for Unicode 2.0 and onwards.
Not only the Copyright notice, Font family name, Font subfamily name, Unique font identifier, Full font name, Version string, Postscript name, Trademark (if applicable) but also - and very important to avoid your problem, the advanced naming; Font vendor, Font vendor link (must stay alive), Font designer, Font designer link (must stay alive), License agreement (IN FULL!!), License agreement link (must stay alive) and Description. It does not harm to also add the Compatible full (Mac) info, Preferred family (Windows), Preferred subfamily (Windows) and the Postscript CID findfont name. And if you like, the sample text.

That done you don't need a readme. It is all in the font file and will show up when looking at the font's properties.

Done.

@Wyndextor
Why are you carefully avoiding to give some info that might lead to an answer?

There are several reasons why the readme files are nor read, partly by fault of the downloader, partly by fault of the font designer.

Some downloaders faults:
Unzipping in their standard (font)download directory, replacing - or not - already existing readme files. Or the older one disappears or the newer one is not saved. In either case a readme file is lost.
Simply not reading readme files. An ancient phenomena that lead to the famous RTFRMF comment.

Some font designers faults:
1. Naming the readme file readme or readme!! or readme first. These file names are so common that the first downloaders fault is most likely to happen.
2. Accompanying the font with a readme file, which is bound to get lost instead of naming it readme [fontname] or so, or, better, including license and contact info in the font file itself.
3. Having contact info with or in the font file that is outdated. E-mail address, website, name it. Too many designers change e-mail address and/or website without keeping the older ones live. Equal to moving without leaving a forwarding address.

It has been said before on this forum (also font designers should read!), it is the designer that is in control of the license info being with the font. If the designer chooses to not to make sure that that info stays with the font then who is to blame? the user or the designer?
