Yosemite and font handling -

Question

since Yosemite (and i did a fresh clean install) only Opentype and some other fonts could be loaded.
A huge amount of my fonts (ffil/lwfn or afm/bmap) could not be loaded.
on OSX 10.9.5 there aren't such problems.
So this is a very important thing vor me.

Here is a list of websafe fonts:

You might want to google 'web safe fonts' and compare other lists to that one just to check.
1. I think you're talking about ALT tags. You could do this as a workaround but it would still be slow loading, and search engines would index it as images, so your text would appear in Google images for example. You might also want to consider whether anyone might need to copy and paste any of your text at some point, and whether you'd ever need to print pages (they will be more ink-intensive and lower quality).
2. You can embed fonts in your webpage; however this only works on PCs and Macs running Windows: http://www.sean.co.uk/a/webdesign/embeddingfonts_inwebpages.shtm
Another way around it is to offer an install of the font (check it's shareware and don't forget to offer both Mac and PC versions) and recommend to your visitors that they install it.
Also remember that whichever font you use, a visitor may have altered their browser settings to display your text differently anyway.
