Is that why it requires js, and looks like "Back < & Future" if js is disabled?

#4Well, it's more interesting then the Acid test. But the fact it only runs 100% in Safari raise some "hack" flags.

#6Why were fonts originally not embedded in websites? Licensing, security, support?

Licensing. When you use a font in a PDF, the receiver of the PDF doesn't easily get the ability to re-use the font. When you embed it in a website, you're giving everyone on the Internet a workable copy of the font. Fonts are expensive.

It doesn't hack per see, but uses css features (gradients) which isn't standarized yet, and therefore uses vendor-prefixes in the css.
It should be somewhat simple to add the Firefox versions of the css directives to add support for Firefox.

There is no JS whatsoever on the page. And it still looks correct in Safari when JS is disabled.
