in Firefox 3: Fonts and text on dria
Just curious, I'm running Firefox 3 RC2 on Windows XP SP3 but I don't see any ligatures. I've checked the typeface in Charmap and can identify the ligatures, they just don't appear on screen. Tried Georgia, Verdana, Zapfino. From what I've read Ligature support dropped in FF3 RC1 or earlier. Is there Moz specific CSS code to enable/disable this feature?

in The Flex Code-Behind Pattern on Vivisecting Media Conversations
Excellent article. Tried this pattern a couple of times (using some code from the Ted-On-Flex blog - http://www.onflex.org/ted/2007/02/code-behind-i...), but have always found several pitfalls. This seems to clarify a number of my questions. Thanks!

James I am glad this helped clear up some of the pitfalls. When we first adopted this pattern on the project Webnesto is referring to in his comment, we would definitely had some challenges with the initial implementation. I have a feeling I missed a few other less common pitfalls we stumbled upon during the that project and other ones I have have used it on. At this point it has become more second nature, so what was once an "workaround" is now just how I code. If you, or anyone else, has some issues or questions about the pattern please let me know and I will reply and/or update the post with recommendations.
