Font-stack

A Compass plugin that provides a library of CSS font stacks configured as Sass variables. Each font stack tries to provide fallback fonts for Windows, Mac and Linux that have roughly the same characteristics as the primary font in the stack.

Install the plugin:

sudo gem install font-stack

To add font-stack to an existing compass project add the following line to your compass configuration file:

require 'font-stack'

@import "font-stack"

body { font-family: $tahoma-font-stack; }
h1 { font-family: $palatino-font-stack; }
code { font-family: $monospace-font-stack; }
.signature { font-family: $cursive-font-stack; }
