Webfonts in Safari

Online Comments Off

On trying out support for webfonts in all contemporary browsers using CSS3 @font-face container I had some trouble on support by Safari 4 on Windows. This was very astonishing to me since Safari is promoted as the browser initially supporting TrueType and OpenType fonts this way.

After some tests I found Safari (at least on Windows computers) failing to properly derive and support small caps font variant. Webfonts aren’t used in Safari unless you remove rule on using font-variant small-caps whenever you select the font family added to your browser’s font database.
