castidom / jquery-fontavailable Goto Github PK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to place a footer on the very bottom of the page (sticky footer) via 
usual methods of 
relative positioning, etc.
2. add this plugin
3. It will create a bar beneath the footer taking the footer off the bottom of 
the page

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expect to not see the plugin take up any room on the screen. But it does.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Safari 4 Beta & Firefox 3.0.10 on OS X 10.5

Please provide any additional information below.
I changed the .css() method to .hide() and that takes it out of the viewable 
area. What i don't 
know is if that invalidates the effectiveness of the plugin. If so, then maybe 
consider:
position: absolute;
top: -9999px;

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Internet Explorer or Opera 10
2. Open jquery-svn/tests.html

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: 2 Pass's
Observed: default font: Fail

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest fontAvailable & jQuery, Gentoo Linux (IE6 under wine & Opera 10),
also on XP, IE6 and IE8

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm using your ingenius plugin to call FLIR.replace() selectively on fonts
I include via @font-face. However in IE6 and 8 (no access to 7) one font
would always fail--and get replaced--no matter what I did!

Finally I looked at the code and fontAvailable creates its test element
inside document.body using '__FAKEFONT__' as the font-family: if the font
you're testing is also set as the body's font-family, the test will ALWAYS
FAIL!

Curious why it doesn't in FF.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Embed a font with @font-face

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

In Firefox 3.5, if the font isn't installed locally,
if($.fontAvailable('myfont') return "false", and in Safari 4, it returns
"true". If the font is installed, both browsers return "true".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
