Finally managed to get far enough with a new layout that I actually quite like! Can be seen on my journal. Works on most views in IE (only browser I have at work) although list of tags page and archive need work. Also, I have no idea whether the font embedding will work in Moz but I really wanted a scripty font. Anyone know of any surefire cross browser ways to include custom fonts?

Nice. I'll have a butchers on firefox when I get home.
Pawprint! yay!
One day I'll learn how to make pretyt layouts like this...

I like the pawprints and the cat piccies. Not so keen on the font but your mileage (obviously) varies. Did the list of tags get generated automatically or did you specify them separately?

What font are you using? When I try and view in IE I get the option to say yes to download temporary fonts but all I get are Comic Sans for the titles and Tahoma/Verdana (can never remember which) for the text. Same view in Firefox, but no download box.

The title on this comment screen seems a bit big, so that the black text gets lost in Cassie/Charlie (which is it?) - I have two black cats now - black cats are great! ;-)

I've got Comic Sans instead of script as well.

As far as I know (meaning I think I read it in an O'Reilly book), the only surefire way to guarantee the font you want is to make an image file of every single letter and then code it so that your letters run together as text. Pain, no? It's like modern letterpress...

I'm almost certainly not seeing your journal as intended, since I'm using a rather ancient Mozilla on an old RH9 box. However, I get paw-prints and kitties and a sensible sans-serif font, which I'm sure I prefer to anything scripty anyway. Most importantly, nothing is broken, nothing is floating on top of anything else, there are no annoying "download this now" messages, and all the various links seem to work as they should. That means it's superior to pretty much everything else that's been designed solely using IE :-) Also, cute!
