FKFicFest community banner/title

[brightknightie]

I worked a bit with the CSS for the fkficfest/fkficfest community header banner/title displays this morning. Whether you'd notice improvements depends on your browser, monitor and font library... but if you happen to notice that I've damaged something, please let me know! :-)

BTW, everyone here knows about the "immajer-FK" Forever Knight title font that JMR created back in the day, right? If you don't have it, want it, and can't download it (or don't trust strange downloads), I'd be happy to email you the file that I use myself.

It looks excellent on my ancient version of Internet Explorer. Yes, immajer-FK and all. (I've had the font installed for years.)

Thanks!

Um, I know that you know this, but... friends don't let friends use IE? If your computer can support it, you may wish to very seriously look into switching to Firefox or Chrome (they're free). IE isn't safe, especially old IE.

It didn't work with my kindle which I checked first. The font looked just "normal". But with the modzilla browser on my laptop it looks very nice.

Thanks!

As I understand it, both the Amazon and Android mobile systems, and the Chrome OS system for Chromebook laptops, have limited font selections. So all I could do for them was change from "cursive" (which kept manifesting as Comic Sans) to "sans-serif" (which is the default normal for most online displays).

For more typical Mac and PC systems, I was able to expand the font stack significantly by inserting some "free hand" CSS. (I'd tried that before but it hadn't taken properly; I've now puzzled out why.) People who don't have immajer-FK installed now have a much better chance of seeing a somewhat similar font (e.g. Chiller, Blood, Curse, Ghastly).
