Because I use firefox, not chrome...

I use Firefox because I don't trust Google very far. Not that Firefox is guaranteed to keep from blabbing my Web habits, but its design and the designers' principles seem less sneaky to me. Resisting tracking is probably a lost cause, but the Internet is too handy a tool to give up. Firefox has worked well for me.

OHB, please please please can you ask them to add a variant tag which uses D'ni Script LM?

I use Firefox mostly out of habit, as I’ve been using it since it was called Navigator. I find Chrome’s interface a bit too minimalistic (e.g. I like having a visible menubar). And I’m not too fond of browsers that keep asking me to log in somewhere.

Speaking of standardization, let me mention that D’ni has its own Unicode Ucsur encoding (E830−E88F). Though I’ll admit it’s annoying to type.

Let's get the first one working before we go for another

In the meantime, I added it to my CDN for you to use on your own websites. Would you like to give it a try?

Add this to your HTML:

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://urufont.orangehairedboy.com/dni_lm.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" />

Add this to your CSS:

Code:

.dni-lm {
    font-family: 'dni_script_lm', Sans-Serif;
}

Use it like this:

Code:

.Sora .reKUan treKleft preniv legloen b'rem

Great work OHB! Now if it only it worked on FF and IE!

Except that won't actually work.

Well yeah, but I don't know how to type in that other font, only the Cyan one.

If you use Notepad++, you can get a bunch of (whole-document, case-sensitive) conversion macros here (shortcuts.xml) :wink:

The D'ni font should work sometime within the next day or so. Patience, young grasshoppers...

Alright, the font should work across browsers now!

Edit: it might not show up correctly in IE for a few hours.

Thanks Hannah!

I tested the LM font, and I noticed a few encoding differences. This is the string I used in a text editor with D'ni Script LM:*

Code:

.xapo rehúrtav co gorayænó kodomaðoenij çileš merþzu ráwéec b'fasí - 0123456789)[email protected]#$%^&*([]{}\ |: äÄöÖüÜ

And this is the string that displayed the correct characters with your font:

Code:

.xapo rehúrtav co gorayænó kodomaðoenij çileš merþzu ráwéec b’fasí – [email protected]£$%^&/([]{}\ |: äÄöÖüÜ

curly apostrophe instead of the straight one
en dash instead of the hyphen
= instead of )
£ instead of #
/ instead of *
I couldn’t find a way to display S (š)

*Note that this font displays [22], [23], [24] with {, }, \ respectively, while Dnifont uses \, {, }.
