Description

This may be as simple as copying the magical files into the right places, and as tricky as hacking up the imported CSS to change paths and trick the imported JavaScript into using them.

This isn’t a big deal functionally, but is important for branding.

Michael,

Can you tell me who to talk to about getting a copy of the fancy font from the Puppet Labs logo, so I can use it with the Forge?

The fancy font doesn’t show on the Forge because it’s domain-restricted to only display if the server’s name is “www.puppetlabs.com”.

In theory, Puppet Labs has a copy of this commercial “Klavika” font somewhere and by running it through cufon (http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/) could generate a JavaScript font that I can then use.

There may license restriction about how many sites you can use this font on, so a license expansion might need to be bought for the Forge.

I can inquire about the domain restriction, but this is definitely not a high priority bug :)

Michael: Thanks. Re: “priority”, I wasn’t sure how concerned you folks were about branding consistency. :)

Best to ask Hal I think.

It was a mistake to make the Forge look just like our web site.

Lets not make that worse.
