Typekit support

[gregcotten]

Doesn't seem to work with websites that use typekit fonts

Example from Safari:

From Two:

I will note that it does work with Google Webfonts (my fallback font used in the website).

Yep, this is an issue with the way Typekit works, not Two. I am not really sure I can do anything about it on our end. Works with normal font embedding, and google as you saw.

I have reached out to Typekit. We'll see if anything comes of it.

Not sure if this is relevant or not, but going to gmail.com results in this:

I just went to Gmail and it was fine.

That being said, Two is not a web browser. It is a test app. I don't have any interest in supporting a web browser again. Bad memories! If you are using Two to check your email, I can't really help.

haha, I realize I am not supposed to be be browsing the web with this software. I was just testing other sites and found that google believed twoBrowser was making automated queries. My thought was that maybe typekit avoids serving to robots?

[chrisjdavis]

Heh, werd. I have had a number of "make this a web browser" requests so I guess I am a little sensitive!

That is possible. Two technically automates requests, since it captures activity in one web view and passes it to the other to keep them in sync, but I don't know how that would be viewed as automated queries by the site.

I shall investigate!

Oh, did the newest commit fix everything for you?

[gregcotten]

Yep! It worked great.

Awesome, glad to hear it. That was a weird bug!

[gregcotten]

Mainly weird to me because it was working on my MBP fine but not my hackintosh...

[chrisjdavis]

Yeah, it was the "send to browser" feature. Your mac keeps track of what applications are installed via plist files. When you remove an app, the plist file isn't always removed. The code that populates the popup button looks for the plist files, then uses those to grab the applications.

In your case, you installed and then removed a web browser on your hackintosh. Two thought it was still there since the plist file was found. When it tried to grab the app, it lost its mind.

I had to put a check in to make sure the app actually exits at the path specified in the plist file. Nutzo.
