What font is used on CSS Tricks…

[markwhitham]

…More specifically at the bottom of the right-hand column, and is used on several small images, such as the "hosting by mediatemple", "mobile by mobify", and "website monitoring by are my websites up?".

I know many sites use the same or similar font for really small textual graphics, but I’ve just not been able to located it.

Anyone know?

What? They use fonts here? No…. I don’t believe it. That’s like 1998. pshh…

srry…

Yes… What you need is Firebug. Right Click on offending font, and click inspect element. This will help you find:

Code:

font-family:Georgia,Serif;

Er… if you read the entire post you would see that it’s actually a font inside an *image* that I’m wanting to know about.

And yeah, I have firebug already… :D

I’m not totally sure what font he used, but I have a feeling it might be a common one. Check out this post: http://funbytebitstop.wordpress.com/200 … h-verdana/
