Re: font family alternative question

*Ray* <loushi (AT) mail (DOT) com>:

if the browser found "Arial black"
font-weight: normal;
font-family: Arial Black;
else
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Arial;

@font-face {font-family: MyArial; font-weight: bold; src: local("Arial")}
@font-face {font-family: MyArial; font-weight: normal; src: local("Arial
Black")}
h1 {font-family: MyArial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;}

/should/ work IIRC, but doesn't in any browser I'm aware of, except that
'h1' uses a bold sans-serif font.

You are right, it does not work in my Win/IE6/Mozilla7/Oprea7. I even
tried
@font-face {font-family: MyArial; font-weight: bold; src:
url("Arial")}
and copy the arial font to the same directory of the test html file.
It doesn't work.
But it is a good point for future reference, thank you.
