Hello everyone,

I already opened a discussion here, but the person who replied suggested me to bring the topic to the Dev Wiki.

So, yea, I'm trying to get a gradient to work on a custom font of mine, an example can be found here. This was achieved by using the very simple trick of using the text as a mask, which was previously a webkit only thing. After updating FireFox, it also works there. However, for Microsoft IE, there is no solution, and it ends up making the background without using the text as mask.

I have 2 questions that come up. First is, is it worth fixing this when it's only Internet Explorer? And second, if I will use it, how can I fix this? (or what is the alternative).

One person suggested me to use SVG, which would be supported on every browser, albeit it uses JavaScript (but it's just for one aestethic, so it's not a problem).

Problem is, I have 0 knowledge about JavaScript.
