The current font rendering behaviour across browsers is poor and inconsistent, and we as web developers are left with a bunch of workarounds if we want to fix it. This involves the use of javascript in order to control how text should behave while the fonts are loading. If you are completely new to the subject of font loading strategies, I highly recommend reading this comprehensive guide by Zach Leatherman on the different techniques one might use in order to get around the famous “flash of invisible text” (FOIT), while minimising the “flash of unstyled text” (FOUT). I won’t repeat the different approaches that Zach documents in his post. Instead, I’d like to suggest a different strategy that often isn’t considered, and try and convince you why this may be the better strategy for most projects.Tue, 13 Jun 2017 00:00:00 GMTEssayhttps://www.malthemilthers.com/posts/responsive-images-and-how-to-implement-them-in-wordPresshttps://www.malthemilthers.com/posts/responsive-images-and-how-to-implement-them-in-wordPressA guide to the responsive image spec and how to implement it in WordPress.Sun, 23 Apr 2017 00:00:00 GMTGuidehttps://www.malthemilthers.com/posts/one-month-with-cinema-4dhttps://www.malthemilthers.com/posts/one-month-with-cinema-4dI recently took a month off work to learn 3D. I wanted a little break from webdesign, and with the girlfriend out of town this was a unique chance for me to dive in to the world of 3D — something that I have been wanting to do for a while now. In this post I’ll go over how I approached learning Cinema 4D, and share some of the aha moments I had along the way.Mon, 23 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMTLearning
