I am trying to load the google font Montserrat.
This works well for latin script, but seems to fall back whenever I use cyrillic type.
What am I missing?
body {
font-family: 'Montserrat', serif;
font-weight: 400;
}
h1 {
font-family: 'Montserrat Alternates', serif;
font-weight: 700;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat+Alternates:700|Montserrat:400,400i,700&subset=cyrillic" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<h1> Headline </h1>
<p>Lorem <i>ipsum</i> dolor sit amet <b>consectetur</b>, adipisicing elit. Saepe, qui.
<p>
<h1> Хеадлине </h1>
<p>Лорем <i>ипсум</i> долор сит амет <b>цонсецтетур</b>, адиписицинг елит. Саепе, яуи.</p>
</body>
</html>
The browser was loading a local version of this font that did not contain the cyrillic subset.

CSS CODE:

background-image: url('images/pattern.png');
background-color: burlywood;

max-width: 1200px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: white;
position: relative;
}
header {

line-height: 140px;

main {
background: #ccc;
}
article {
padding: 20px;
}
h2 {
margin-top: 0;
}
p {
line-height: 2;
}
background-image does not work in the above form,but when the same css-code is included in style tag,background-image works perfectly fine,why not in external stylesheet?
I think this is a path issue for the background-image: url(...). I can't reproduce at the moment because of lacking information but please be aware of your folder structure. When you use <style> for CSS the starting point for the relative path is your root folder (or where the HTML is located).
In case of the style.css the starting point is the folder styles. So mind that in that case the path might have to change. You can use the Firefox developer tools or Chrome developer tools to modify your path on the fly. This way you can easily find out yourself where the issue with the path originates or if the background-image rule was applied properly on your element.

I'm trying to use the font 'Cabin Sketch'
I incluced the font like it says on the google web font page:
html:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cabin+Sketch:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' >
css:
body {
font-family: 'Cabin Sketch';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
color: #dbdbdb;
font-size: 14px;
}
Letters from a-z are working but any other charakters like .!# are not working.
In the google web font preview all characters are working.
Other fonts are working perfectly.
I'm using firefox 11.0 and Ubuntu 11.04.
I also created a issue on google font directory:
http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/issues/detail?id=124
Thank you in advance.
That seems right, Which browser are you using it with? It should work for all alphabets that it uses. I tested it and it works just fine. Make sure your browser supports #font-face

So it is correct, as you see above, it supports non alphabetical characters. Run the fiddle to see yourself. Hope that helps!
I've encountered a rather strange bug in UIWebView. If I create a table and on of the <td>:s are too long (longer than the width of the screen, I guess), the font size gets enlarged!
Here is an example app I threw together to demonstrate this.
This piece of HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
table
td
{
white-space: nowrap;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean mi ipsum</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Produces this result:
The top table gets enlarged! The ONLY thing that's different is that the first line is longer in the top table. This makes the font size for the whole table bigger!
I've tried using <nobr> instead of CSS and it gives the same result. Setting the font size with inline styles does not work either.
I also get the same result if I set the width of a <td> to a size larger than the screen, so it seems like there is some auto sizeing that is the problem.
Does anyone know a workaround for this?!
UPDATE
Here is my project if you want to try it out for yourself:
http://cl.ly/2B3r1F2C3I0C2D1S2X3s
UPDATE 2
I forgot to mention that I have tried setting font sizes throigh CSS. Both in the <style> and inline and even through JavaScript, after the page has loaded loke so:
.
td
{
font-size: 18px;
}
<td style="font-size: 18px;">
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for(int i = 0; i < elements.length; i++)
{
elements[i].style.fontSize = '18px';
}
This has no effect.
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for(**var** i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
elements[i].style.fontSize = '18px';
}
I don't see any font sizes being specified. I would try manually setting the font sizes with CSS or HTML.
This is about displaying a simple HTML page in iPhone's browser, with rotation.
Setup: two identical tables but one of them has a (CSS) width of 69% while the other is at 100%.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
<title>Test</title>
<style>
table
{
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th
{
font-weight: normal;
border: 1px solid red;
}
td
{
border: 1px solid green;
}
#t1
{
width: 69%;
}
#t2
{
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table id="t1">
<tr><th colspan="2">TH COLSPAN 2</th></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2">TD COLSPAN 2</td></tr>
<tr><td>CELL 1</td><td>CELL 2</td></tr>
</table>
<hr />
<table id="t2">
<tr><th colspan="2">TH COLSPAN 2</th></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2">TD COLSPAN 2</td></tr>
<tr><td>CELL 1</td><td>CELL 2</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Behaviour: although the two tables are displayed with the same font size in the default orientation (portrait), when rotating the device the full width table displays TDs/THs having a COLSPAN=2 in a bigger font size (screenshots are taken from iPhone):
This seems to be a bug in Safari but, nonetheless, I have to get around it.
Any idea about a decent workaround?
Thanks.
This is because sometimes Safari webview Zooms text automatically when it thinks its a good idea.
To disable this behavior add this to your body CSS Style:
-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;

Have you tried setting the viewport to fit the iphone screen size?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=320" />
see more details at: constrain-your-viewport-for-iphone-web-development
Also see developer.apple.com for other factors regarding iPhone web development (such as Adjust Text Size for Readability)

If you are a CSS expert, your first thought will be to use the "handheld" media type in your CSS code. For instance, if a browser considers itself a handheld device, this code will hide all elements that belong to the navigation CSS class. That's handy if you know that these elements are convenient but redundant and take up more space than a handheld user wants to give up:
#media handheld {
.navigation {
display: none;
}
}
Unfortunately this won't work on the iPhone. Why? Because Apple knows that the iPhone can display a page much better than most handhelds. And they didn't want the iPhone to display all web pages in a "dumbed-down" way. So the iPhone looks at the "screen" media type, just like your desktop browser does.
Is there an alternative? Yes! You can specify that a set of CSS rules apply only when the screen is smaller than a certain resolution:
#media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
.navigation {
display: none;
}
}
Try setting font-size: 100%; on the body, that way the browser will definitely be starting from it's default size before applying your em sizes. In addition to that try adding -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; to your page.
This article goes into a lot of depth on the specifics of developing for mobile safari:

Ive cleaned up your HTML a little, by putting the LI inside UL and getting rid of the redundant div.
You can set a max-width on any block level element, so combining that with #epatel's media declarations get's you the following.
Play around with the width's and so on. Ive just set them randomly.

The selected answer is for iphone but for dynamic width of ranging devices you may add this piece of code in your "head" tag.
