I would like to know if I should create CSS buttons or image buttons for my site. What is better? Problem is that the text is formatted with Helvetica Neue ( I like that font very much) and I can't use it as a web font because of copyright issues.If I create the buttons in CSS they look beautiful in the browser but get resized when the user has chosen a different text-size for their browsers.Image buttons have the advantage I can embed my font but do not look that good as CSS buttons. Also in that case I had to make Retina-versions for the buttons (just for the future when any PC has a Retina-display).Can someone please help me in this tricky situation? Does anyone know a web-safe alternative to Helvetica Neue? Should I disable the resizing of my button div-containers? What's today's standard when it comes to website buttons?TIA!
