No test suite is perfect, but we found that Modernizr was the best one for It’s a shame that it is too big to be included inline in our pages. This is quite funny: /(Windows Phone)|(XBLWP) |(ZuneWP)/. Microsoft uses UA Sniffing in their redesigned website to exclude Windows Phone false positives. UCBrowser won’t display the JavaScript alert() so we ran the test with document.write() instead. Opera 12 Mobile on Nexus 7 has a weird bug where it doesn’t display glyphs when there is a document.write() on the page ( bug viewable here). Some browsers declare they support but don’t display the glyphs correctly… These phones deserve nothing but to be thrown. Android 4 - Opera Mobile 12 (weird bug, cf infra)ĭon’t support that report they have NO support for and don’t display glyphs correctly:.Support that report they support and display glyphs as expected. Previously, we were using this script: but we were having too many false positives. We had the best results using Modernizr’s feature detection (with a small custom build). Most mobile browsers will give a straight, honest answer, but some of them are simply lying about their capabilities (the best known example being IE9 in Windows Phone 7). We deliberately excluded Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 of our test suite, since we simply do not support them at the moment.

Opera Mobile and Opera Mini don’t make our lives much easier Testing The number of Modernizr open issues on GitHub related to font-face only shows that this is not a problem anyone has tackled yet. We decided to document our findings and share them to the community.Ī few attempts to document font-face support across desktop devices, including the article feature detection on Paul Irish’s blog, are often misleading and deprecated when it comes to the mobile world of pain. Well, we happen to use font icons on the BBC Responsive News website and we have had many problems when trying to detect which browser can be served rules and deal with it correctly. With Xbox Live integration, support for Hotmail, Outlook and Internet Explorer, Microsoft hopes that consumers will recognise its brand names and continue to use them on its new mobile devices.As of today, the support of is quite unknown on mobile and tablet. Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 7 operating system is Microsoft’s attempt at creating a more consumer friendly mobile experience, coming away from its previous business-centric OS. It is expected that the New York event won’t be an event to showcase each of Microsoft’s launch partners’ new Windows Phone 7 powered smartphones, although it is expected that manufacturers including LG, Asus, HTC and Samsung will be displaying some of their devices with the intention of releasing them later in October. New York City will serve as the location for another product launch in October, on the 11th of that month Microsoft are in town and Windows Phone 7 will be getting its first formal outing, in what is thought to be its formal launch event.ĬNET confirmed the details, which will not primarily serve as a Windows Phone launch but rather an “open house” that will serve as a more casual, consumer focused event.
