====== Fonts for CSS Testing ====== If you don't have the CSS testing fonts installed, many tests will appear to fail! Install the [[http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/Fonts/|CSS Testing Fonts]] if you want accurate test results. ===== The Ahem Font ===== Many of the tests in the CSS Test Suite rely on the [[http://dev.w3.org/CSS/fonts/ahem/|Ahem font]]. Ahem's glyphs are all rectangles, which makes it easy to test the inline box model. More details are available in the [[http://dev.w3.org/CSS/fonts/ahem/README|Ahem README file]]. The Ahem font is available in several formats for different systems. If we are missing yours, and you can create one, we would welcome your contribution. Send us a message on the [[http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite|public-css-testsuite mailing list]]. ==== Installing Ahem on Windows ==== - Download the [[http://dev.w3.org/CSS/fonts/ahem/AHEM____.TTF|TrueType version of Ahem]]. - Open the folder where you downloaded the font file. * **For Windows XP/Server 2003:** - Open the Fonts folder from the Control Panel. - Drag-and-drop the downloaded file to the fonts folder. * **For Windows Vista/Server 2008** - Right-click the downloaded font file and select "Install". - Confirm your acceptance to the User Account Control (UAC) pop-up window by selecting "continue". ==== Installing Ahem on Mac OS X ==== - Download the [[http://dev.w3.org/CSS/fonts/ahem/AHEM____.TTF|TrueType version of Ahem]]. - Right-click the font and select "Install" - Alternatively, drag and drop in either ''/Library/Fonts'' (available for all users on the machine) or ''~/Library/Fonts'' (available to current user only) ===== Additional Fonts ===== Some tests require [[http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/Fonts/|additional fonts]]. A zipfile of all CSS testing fonts is available.
