Added many more checks to the font survey browser processing SQL script to distinguish browser types and different versions of Linux and Windows NT for closer analysis for a forthcoming article on the font survey applet object markup. Scripts distinguish 11 new browser versions, mostly Firefox variants, 13 Linux distributions, and multiple new versions of previously seen browsers.
Added a .xcss type to the Lighttpd configuration for server parsed CSS include files with an initial trial version CSStandard.xcss, which "sutures" together all formerly imported style sheets to minimise HTTP requests.
Added the PostgreSQL dropdb and createdb commands in the RestoreTestFontDatabase.sh and RestoreFontDatabase.sh scripts to automate the whole process. And created new SQL scripts to check for effective duplicate current font surveyline records. Updated all font survey results to correct duplicate entries for Lucida Sans, Andale Mono and LucidaBright in the Linux font survey sample and results table.
Changed the CodeStyleTemplate class to reference the new "sutured" CSStandard.xcss style sheet. Also created new CSWide.xcss style sheet with same header and include format as CSStandard.xcss. Updated server side includes for style sheet links to reference new XCSS documents.
Updated the font survey results and added 20 new Linux fonts to the survey sample. Fonts reported but not previously included in the sample include "Latin, Greek, Cyrillic" (LGC) versions of the DejaVu fonts, Linux Libertine and its all capitals "C" font family.
Added friendly redirects to the Lighttpd configuration for all section email newsletter and news feed listing pages.
Modified the FaqMenuGenerator class to add an FAQ by email call to action to all premium content questions with a PayPal payment form. Created a FAQ by email button image to sit alongside the call to action, and a payment thank you page. Updated the standfirst include files for standard FAQ pages to mention the FAQ by email service and added new styles to CSStdLayoutCommon.css for call to action and PayPal buy now button. Shifted the vertical spacing from margin-bottom on the .Premium selector to margin-top on the .ActionPoint selector.
Added 12 new FAQ answers to various Java, servlets, Javascript and Web fonts FAQ categories.
Added Google Chrome to the CSS media monitor test results summaries and test case documents. Created new versions of the media monitor calls to action and included them in the subsection index, CSS style guide section index and added an action point to the home page.
Modified the home page tag line and heading to work with the new Palatino based font stack; changed the tag line to "CSS font stacks, media style sheets and web standards" and the page heading to "Home to six hundred developer FAQs", to keep the "home" element with a stronger message. Also shortened the sub-head in the Web font sampler local navigation to "Better font stacks" to fit with slightly wider font.
