Title: Adding your own font, and flags ?
Post by: ROUBOS on December 22, 2009, 02:10:48

Hi,
is it possible to add your own downloaded font to the site? Have the font embedded I mean, so that it actually shows regardless if the viewers have it installed on their system?

Also, I would like to change the flag icons to round ones for the language selection. Where do we change these image files?

thanks

wait for ccs3 ...noways  embed fonts are not  compatible with 50% of browsers out there.... as far as i know!

flags?
inside every language folder:
/language/french/french.gif
/language/greek/greek.gif ... etc.

you can just rename your png images to gif.. browsers are  much clever nowdays

or modify

modules/mod_language.php ... ~line 223

Quote

echo '<img src="'.$mainframe->getCfg('live_site').'/language/'.$langx.'/'.$langx.'.gif" border="0" alt="'.$langx.'" style="vertical-align:middle" />';

and then replace all gif flag images in every language folder with a png image
