Inspect the edge will not display on local IP Typekit fonts

Hi Dennis,

Here is the information of one of our engineers on the use of edge inspect and Typekit:

"Unfortunately, it seems that you run in a situation where Edge inspect and Typekit fit very well. I'll explain a little more and then offer suggestions to work around the problem.

When you are browsing a local website via the host name "localhost", which is not accessible to any other devices on your network, edge inspect automatically gets the local IP address of your machine (which is not the same as the external IP address as shown on sites like whatismyip.com) who sent to mobile applications. For example, let's say I have a Sinatra in Chrome app on my Mac as http://localhost:4567. My iPhone would not be able to understand the host name "localhost", but he can see my Mac using its address IP 10.1.10.1, to inspect the edge navigates to http://10.1.10.1:4567.

So, to get the fonts to work, you could add time 'localhost' and ' 10.1.10.1' to your Kit. However, we recommend adding IPs local to the kits because they tend to change without warning. (In my example above, the next time I turn on my computer to its IP address may have changed to 10.1.10.2, but all I know is that fonts had stopped working on my devices again).

To work around this problem, we recommend that use a form of "dynamic DNS" - basically, a domain name that is automatically updated with your current IP address and therefore will always point to your computer.

If you are using a Mac, the simplest thing would be to use the host name of your Mac Hello. Hello is a technology built into Mac OS X and iOS to help each other devices automatically find on networks.

To find your host name of Hello:

1. open on your Mac system preferences.
2. choose the share icon.
3. your host name hello will appear in the upper part, under the "Computer name" field

You can add the host name that appears in your kit and use it on any Apple device on your network. For example, my name is Hello my - MBP.local, in order to access http://My-MBP.local:4567 on a Mac or an iOS device and see my app to Sinatra.

Unfortunately, this simple solution will work on Apple or Windows PC devices with an Apple Hello software installed, you cannot use this hostname with Android phones or tablets. If you need a host name that works on any device, there are a few options, I recommend you:

1. a third party called before service is a way to easily redirect ports on your computer to other devices anywhere on the internet. You can learn more about them and sign up for a trial of 30 days here: https://forwardhq.com. Before you give a domain name standing for your transmitted app that you can add to your kit, as 'dev - yourcompany.fwd.wf»

2 37signals has a free 'wildcard DNS"service called xip.io which will automatically forward the traffic to a local IP address. You can get your current local IP address by opening system preferences, then choosing network. The IP address must be included in the text in small characters under the status of connection for the connection is active (i.e. has a green dot next to it). Once you have the IP address, you can access your computer to [YOUR IP address]. XIP. IO. for fonts working, add *. xip.io to your kit. Remember that your IP address may change, so if your site continues to be accessible, you should check to make sure that you have the correct IP address.

Personally, I use xip.io if I need to test Typekit on multiple devices using edge inspect. This certainly isn't the easiest to use, option but it works very well with almost no setup, and it's free.

We will work to make the experience to use Typekit and inspect the edges together better in the future, but I hope these suggestions will help out you at the moment. »

I hope this helps; Let me know if you have other questions about it!

Howdy,

Looking for some suggestions to configure Edge inspect properly so I am able to see my served Typekit fonts.

My current setup is this w/MAMP Pro http://cl.ly/image/0W2H1E1Q2P2T (http://cl.ly/image/0W2H1E1Q2P2T)

This is a configuration of a project based lithium, so I need to work this way in order to view the site locally. Change the name of the server to something custom as mysite.local doesn't seem to work so far with edge inspect only localhost (especially since Cree MAMP home).

Currently, if I add my local IP address to the Typekit kit settings my fonts still don't to inspect loading not on Edge.

Thanks for the help,

~ Dennis

Ahh... Cool.

Inspect edge uses Webview to render the pages which is a stock browser. WebView has some quirks related to text rendering. It makes the font by default the system when the rendering of text that has the attribute CSS 'text-rendering' value 'optimizeLegibility' or 'geometricPrecision '.

There is a bug already logged for Andorid.

  • The effects will not be displayed on the Rectangle

    I work with Illustrator cs4. I'm doing a flyer to be printed and saved in PDF format. I drew two rectangles with the Rectangle tool in the context of the simple design. I have their color and then applied the effect water effect paper > Photoshop - Sketch effects. My boss would like rectangles of a different color. When I change the color, the effect is no visible solitaire, except on the edge of the forms. The effect still appears in the appearance, under Fill Panel, however. When I change the color on the back, the effect is once again visible. I can add the effect to all rectangles drawn in this color. All rectangles drawn in other colors will not display the effect more often at the edge of the form. What happens in the world, have I done to make this happen?

    In the options of paper water decrease the setting of the brightness to about 46.

    That should cure your problem with the Green object.

  • Firefox will not display on the screen even though with Process Explorer, I see active Firefox.exe but no CPU usage

    I use Firefox as default browser v10.0.2 on Dell XPS8300 Intel Core i5 and Windows 7 Ultimate and Compaq Presario CQ57 IO IO Intel Core i3 and Windows 7 Home. More frequently on the (approximately 90% of attempts) that Dell (50% of attempts) Firefox will not display on the screen when I click the icon. Cannot display other programs when it happens. I expressly say display because I believe that Firefox has started. To work around the problem, I installed Process Explorer on both machines and launch this program first, then click on the Firefox icon. When the problem occurs I see process Firefox.exe in the list of processes; some CPU consumed but, then, no CPU activity. If I click on the Firefox icon, yet another process opens in the list of processes, but with the same answer - some consumed CPU and then no CPU activity. If I have 2 processes running and kill the process from the 1st, the 2nd poster and then everything is normal. If I do not open it treat a 2nd, but kill the 1st process then click the Firefox Firefox is displayed and all then is normal. This problem has occurred since the original on the two new machines installation. I have updated the video drivers on both computers.

    OK, let's see if we can solve this problem and make it work for you!

    First of all, if you start Firefox in safe mode (restart your computer first, then when you open Firefox, hold down the SHIFT key) it starts more reliable? This is usually caused by a defective module. If this does not help, then restart Firefox, go to the Firefox, then add-ons button and disable your extensions one by one until you find the troublemaker.

    Also, try to update to Firefox 11, it has several bug fixes that might make life easier here.

  • Vista will not display description of the file on mouse over. File name, Type, size, and Date modified see the upward, but no description.

    Vista will not display description of the file on mouse over. When I mouse over, a pop-up window displays showing: file name, Type, size and Date of change, however, it does not show the description of the file.

    So, for example if I have 5 files on different types of screw - the description tells me that the size of the screws. IE. 1.5 mm or 1. 8 mm.

    Update: try to get the description of the file displayed messing around in the file properties, now out of 10 records, only 2 includes the name of the file in the mice on the pop-up window. So now what lack us, it's the file name and the Description file.
