One of the driving forces that gave birth to jGeez is the
damage geez fonts cause on the look and feel of websites with such a content.
Be it a missing Unicode font or plain dreadful font that destroys the UI design
that consumed hundred hours of the developers time, at the end of the day this
geez content would degrade your web application in the eyes of the user unless
you took steps to ensure consistent visual and interactive experience to the
user.
Previous versions of jgeez tackle most of the pitfalls of
geez font contents like missing Unicode detection and software independent geez
typing, but one aspect that needed enhancement is its rigid default font
approach. If you are using jgeez, you will be required to use one font (Jiret)
and there was no option to change that.
With the newly released jgeez library (version 1.2.0.0), I
have added more flexibility in using different kind of fonts to display your
geez content. Courtesy of Eyasu from http://www.techsefer.com,
I have included a list of fonts that can be used with jgeez. Now you can choose
different font based on the look you are
trying to achieve on your website and maintain a level of uniqueness in your
work.
By using jgeez and choosing the appropriate geez font to
your site you will ensure that your layout is consistent and predictable across
all the users and your design work is maintained regardless of the capability
of the user’s operating system. The UI will retain its looks as you have
defined it on your original design and you will be relieved of the unjust
horror of the decisions made by the operating system and the browser geez
fonts.
In addition to this major enhancement, with the release of
jgeez 1.2.0.0 I have fixed a bug related to jquery plugins and AJAX calls.
