Things aren’t quite right just yet

So, revisiting this site since the last work on it over Thanksgiving vacation . . . and it’s now Christmas Vacation. This doesn’t bode well for site updates.

Re-worked the fonts for the sIFR plug-in. For some reason, certain punctuation was not working in Agency FB font - such as apostrophes, pound signs, and ampersands. The font has those characters, and re-exporting a new .swf didn’t help either.

I reverted back to the Flash MX, and re-swf’ed a few fonts. I also visited some .swf font locales online - notably Fontsmack and Isarie. While the title graphic above (”Agent Flynn”) is in the Armor Piercing font, it doesn’t convert too well to sIFR. I had also liked the looks of BankGothic MD BT (too wide), Dirty Headline, Misproject, and Zalamander, but none worked that well. Headline One also looked promising, but had both spacing and punctuation issues.

And of course the sIFR doesn’t work in IE7, but does in IE6. Arrgh.
