Add Web font to your site and modules

Web font, @font-face is a CSS standard to deliver the fonts real-time like images to web pages. It is gaining popularity and is supported by all major Browsers. Designers can use fonts that are located in remote server just like referencing images or video assets. It solves the problem that we must have the fonts reside on the local computer and we can use remotely located Unicode fonts that contains large collections characters and can be updated regularly and accessed by remote users instantly. SEO will be improved by implement the text in real fonts vs. images because the search engine can index/understand the actual text use in a regular fashion like h1, h2 and .headline etc.

We have developed a module to enable the content with web fonts and the module also comes with a WYSIWYG editor with web fonts which can be selected by individual Drupal publisher. Users can design their site with renown fonts for branding, SEO and help vision impaired (fonts can be read by vision aid devices)

We will talk about the Web Font API used in our module so developers can integrate the Web Fonts to their modules and content.

Non-English and Multi-Language Search with Apache Solr

Markus Kalkbrenner 26 May 2010
Type:  Not planned session

We will explain the fundamental language specific problems of full text searching using Apache Solr, present some real life multilingual examples from Switzerland and demonstrate the corresponding features of Apache Solr Multilingual.

Apache Solr is a powerful search engine well integrated with Drupal. Solr provides faceted or "guided navigation" which allows site visitors to quickly find what they are looking for by narrowing or refining their query by simply clicking on the links provided as "facets".

Unfortunately, the standard Apache Solr Search Integration module is not very suitable for non-English websites. A lot of manual work is necessary to provide a working setup e.g. for German or French websites.

Additional Presenters:  Philipp Schroeder
