try use sIFR, http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr/

how to use sIFR with Joomla!, for module title

1) add this code to inside

Code: Select all

<!-- sIFR -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site . "/templates/" . $cur_template; ?>/sifr/sIFR-screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site . "/templates/" . $cur_template; ?>/sifr/sIFR-print.css" type="text/css" media="print"/>
<script src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site . "/templates/" . $cur_template; ?>/sifr/sifr.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site . "/templates/" . $cur_template; ?>/sifr/sifr-addons.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(typeof sIFR == "function"){
    sIFR.replaceElement(".moduletable h3", named({sFlashSrc: "<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site . "/templates/" . $cur_template; ?>/sifr/marlboro.swf", sColor: "#727272"}));
};
</script>
2) extract sifr.zip (attached) into your template folder.

3) edit sIFR-screen.css

Code: Select all

.sIFR-hasFlash .moduletable h3 {
    visibility: hidden;
    /* other CSS properties go here */
	font-size: 16px;
	background: transparent;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 8px 0 0 0;
}
4) done!

Hi Syahzul,

I tak berapa faham la. I bukannya techie pulak tu!

Anyway, I dah install JCE. At least sekarang ni, I ada "font family" etc. Tapi the question still remains: How to install new fonts into the JCE family font?

Thanks a zillion!!!

kalau nak guna font selain dari arial, verdana, georgia, times, helvetica, courier, maka kene gunakan script lain mcm sIFR tu. dan font yg kita view kat web browser tu dari pc kita, bukan dari website yg kita tgk. paham tak agak2? so if u install font mcm myriad pro kat pc u, pastu buat website guna font tu, kat pc org lain mungkin akan kuar verdana, sbb dia takde myriad pro...

jadi, kita takleh install font kat website sebenarnya. font kita install kat windows. dan kalau nak guna font yg best2 tu kene pakai sIFR la, tu yg aku tau la...

SIGH. Can you explain this in English this time please? I also want to know how to add new fonts, and so far, you are the only person to answer the question, and I cannot understand the answer.

Also, above you said to install that code "inside" but did not say inside what? Can you give a bit more detail please? I like the idea of this rendered font engine, but cannot follow how to make it work.

Cheers

What he mean is if you wanna used the font that different from arial, verdana, georgia, times, helvetica, courier, which mean the default one..you have to used the sIFR script (see the above attachment or link been given to download the script). The font that we are browsing on the net is actually tru' the pc's font and not the font on the net/website. So let say if u installed font like myriad pro in your pc's the u built your website using that fonts, in other people pc's when they browse you site...they may see other fonts like verdana, cause they did not have that font myriad pro been installed to their pc's. The solution on this case is to installed the scrip sIFR

Second is he showing to installed/add the code on the module title....here another artical you may read and understand which i find while browsing...check it out and hope this will help you out. http://www.alledia.com/blog/design/how- ... omla-site/
