what font , css are being used in this text ? that looks simple and beautiful. I would love to have text with the similar font size and css in the header of my page.
Please check the header of this site http://www.stanford.edu/ for the above text.
Looks to me like a Aldine BT
oh dear 
didn’t we just go through all this in the last 24 hours or so 
I think you’ll find the answer to how to see the css that is used in this thread
you only need to read the first 3 posts 
the following 106 are mainly fluff
But here you can’t right click since it is an image 
yep ok
I posted the link to that thread because the op posted a link to the website where the image came from.
I’ll try running something on http://www.identifont.com/ for the actual font-family, but off the top of my head I know there is a free font that tries to emulate the Stanford font
A quick search for Stanford font and Stanford visual identity gives Sabon, http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/Detail.htm?ProductId=12869

very hard.
I installed the add on from the thread link you posted…but its not visible in the toolbar. I can see it has installed been perfectly.
is not it firebug ?
why it does not come into view in the toolbar ?
Also, I don’t get to see in the right-click as well .
whats wrong ?
N.B: I have webdeveloper installed and works fine. Can I use webdeveloper to check the font-family of the text used ? how to check that using webdeveloper ?
I guess you’re confusing two posts or are you referring too the fact that you cant right click on the word STANFORD?
In that same tab on my FF3.6.13, I don’t have Firefile (whatever that is).
I see an add-on called Firebug 1.5.2
edit : just updated it to 1.6.0
Aldine was given by Identifont, but I fail to see the difference in the Sabon R.
Especially since that’s what Stanford’s website says it is, haha: http://www.stanford.edu/group/identity/de_typ.html
ok, in your 1st post it sounded to me that image you posted was a screen dump of the header text that was created using text in html and styled with css.
if the text is part of an actual image on the web page then firebug won’t work in this case.
The bottom of the right feet is flatter where the right feet on the image windowsxp gave like the Aldine is more round
haha I won’t argue anymore after this, but I fail to see how you can think the bottom of the right foot in the image is round.
The bottom left corner of that stroke clearly touches the baseline giving a complete diagonal.
Regardless, no one (except for a typographic geek) is going to look closely enough to notice.
I think some of you guys are confusing .
open the site: http://www.stanford.edu/
see there is a text “STANFORD” at the top left side . I wanted the font and css of that.
I posted the image ( taken screenshot in paint !) to let you know which text I’m talking about. There are so many “stanford” word is floating in the site. So, I posted the screen cap image to let you which particular text I’m talking about.
Another thing is ,regarding Firebug , .

First post of the thread link had a link of https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/52365/
I downloaded this add on …is that a wrong download ?
Rounded But anyway. At least windowsxp has a choice now
@windowsxp: I don’t see what is confusing. See the fonts mentioned. Clearly they use the Sabon font as materialdesigner mentioned. Then there are a few similar fonts [URL=“http://www.dafont.com/sanford.font”]Sanford and [URL=“http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/tilde/aldine-401/regular/”]Aldine. I’m not sure what you mean with you want the css for that? I think you should, just as on that site, use it as an image since it is not really a regular font. There are ways to add fonts like @font-face but, but not all of them are free and I have no idea if this font is in their package anyway

I think the original question should have been twofold; can you visually identify the font within the image file. And if you can please can you show me how to write some CSS to include that font family?
Yeah, but that would require teaching him about font licensing, @font-face vs cufon vs sIFR, and ultimately would take more than one fix.
