I am having trouble getting the font I would like to use, Chalkboard, to work in the Google Chrome browser. I am eventually moving over the HTML and the CSS over to an iPad fo a app, but I would like to at least see it before I move it there.

Is there any browser that actually can detect Chalkboard without going into Quirks Mode? Which one is it?

Thanks.

  • How are you trying to use the font? Show some code – Pekka Jan 25 '12 at 22:44
  • Easy CSS: font-family:"ChalkboardSE"; – TheChes44 Jan 25 '12 at 22:46
  • But you're not going to use Chrome on the iPad, are you? Is it working in Safari? (And have you considered using the more reliable @font-face method instead that works in *all* modern browsers independent from whether the font is installed or not?) – Pekka Jan 25 '12 at 22:50
  • Sorry; the link I checked didn't show that font available. – Almo Jan 25 '12 at 22:52
  • wait what do you mean @font-face method? explain... I'll have to look about safari, but I think it is a Mac font loaded only.... – TheChes44 Jan 25 '12 at 22:52
  • See [Fonts on the Web](http://stackoverflow.com/q/16233) the accepted answer is a bit outdated: The method is now supported by most major browsers, including Chrome. For that to work, however, you need to own an appropriate font license. – Pekka Jan 26 '12 at 10:35

The font Chalkboard is available by default on Macs but not this Chalkboard SE http://jsfiddle.net/ydRLe/

However, Chalkboard == Chalkboard SE, so just use Chalkboard on your machine to see what it'll look like.
