It's really unfortunate that this would be so hard to use in production due to lack of a suitable IE fallback. If a browser doesn't support @font-face, for example, you can always fall back to a standard font. For isometric text though, lack of support would likely disrupt the page layout so badly that the only fallback solution would be images.<p>That said, as easy as it is to think of sites where isometric text would be a cool design element, I can't easily think of an application where it would need to be actual, editable text. Perhaps if you had a heavily futuristic themed CMS site...
This site fails to use unprefixed css properties when it uses the prefixed versions, so when newer browsers view the page they get a partial experience.
Nice! This can be used to make a really cool isometric website. Something similar but in terms of isometric blocks: <a href="http://kushagragour.in/lab/isoblocks/" rel="nofollow">http://kushagragour.in/lab/isoblocks/</a>
Looking forward to digging through the source code on this one. Pleasantly surprised that text selection with both mouse and keyboard worked intuitively and smoothly (Ubuntu/Chrome) -- usually I'd expect this kind of trickery to break down at some boring edge case like this. Same for zooming with Ctrl+mousewheel.
I think if there was too much of this anywhere my neck would get a major kink in it. The specific font choice didn't help.<p>It's cool that this is _possible_ however, just not so cool for accessibility, or readability.
