Where can i get good and clean CSS for text.
For ex.The word press font and the text looks amazing !!
Any example or any website for making such ?
Typechart is a great tool. Take a look, you can grab the CSS http://www.typechart.com/
Georgia is nice. Unfortunately, web devs are limited to the core 10-12 fonts that are included in most OS's and supported by most browsers. If you want nice fonts for headings or small pieces of text then use Cufon but dont put big blocks of text through this as it wont be selectable. So i'm afraid your lumped with the basic fonts: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Palatino, etc...
While not exclusively for text (more design in general), CSS Zen Garden is always a great place for ideas, etc.

I have seen in Yahoo and other sites including sites for mobile where they have this little arrows pointing up and down and these seem to scale when one zooms into the viewport. They seem crisp on every resolution level as well and I am looking to create something similar. Here is the arrow I am talking about:
arrow image >
This arrow is from the yahoo "Download All" button. Was it done with SVG, is it a UTF-8 symbol? Can this be done in CSS?
You could use something like Font Awesome.
http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/
Font Awesome is for use with Bootstrap but there are many similar fonts ets out there for regular use too.
Here's an article detailing some:
http://thenextweb.com/dd/2012/10/12/7-gorgeous-icon-fonts-to-speed-up-your-site-and-your-design-process/
These icon sets are usually scaleable vector icons meaning they will work well at different resolutions.

Since font rendering is a nightmare on cross platforms (i.e. windows has very ugly anti aliasing, and TTF fonts are not anti aliased at all) I came up with the idea to create a png file for every heading in my design.
My question however implies that if I would create a H1 html element and hide it with CSS while the title is shown by a png image, would search engines this work around?
What you are proposing is a very common method for replacing text with an image. Search engines don't mind.
I would suggest that instead of hiding the element, move it off-screen, -5000px or so. Also, your users are probably going to hate you, since your site will be slow. Best just to deal with the typography as it is. I don't know what Windows system you're using, but anti-aliasing works just fine on all of my Windows boxes. If you need a different font, consider web fonts.

I'm having problem to find why fonts are bold, even tho i didnt apply bold, but half are not bold. which is kind of more confusing.
so some are bold and some are not.
[Warning, link plays arabic vocals !] :)
check following screenshot and here is live demo link (on demo link will play audio, please click on pause and it wont play again on refresh)
if you see on top right corner, that arabic word is showing normal and next to it the other arabic fonts are bold.
on second line, same second word is not bold, which it was on first line. o.0
One possibility (that I have experienced) is that the font-face you are using does not have bold for the things you are looking for. (btw, I can't tell differences in my browser, Opera, everything looks gray).
I experienced this with a font I implemented using #font-face and font that the font I had chosen didn't have any bold versions at all for to use.
This seems be an artifact of how the text is rendered.
If you take the text value of one word in your span and move it to another, it renders the exact same way. In other words, this isn't caused by CSS. Different text seems to render at different weight.

Hi I am skeptical about uploading my .PSD files to one of these websites that claim to convert .PSD to .HTML for you easily.
How do these work? Do they generate ALL of the necessary CSS?
They might be able to make HTML, but can they make clean, efficient HTML. Nope.
Are they smart enough to recognise a menu and use an unordered list, instead of a bunch of DIVs? Nope. Does it know when an image should be a background behind text, or when text should be merged with the background? Are they smart enough to save portions of the artwork as PNG vs. JPG?
This task is far too complex to automate. It's like when you have a MS WORD doc and save it as HTML - you get HTML, but it's full of clutter and superfluous mark-up is 10x larger than it need be. It works, but it's crap.

I am working on a site, and I am looking for basic profile icons such as:
http://akcdn.okccdn.com/media/img/icons/home_new_user_guide.png
I would use those, but I am sure those are typewritten.
Where would I be able to find similar icons that I can use for an open source project?
Thanks :)
Smashing Magazine has semi-regular free icon roundups, including icons in a wide variety of styles. They're also under a wide variety of licenses, so make sure you check before using one.
FindIcons is a great site where you can find all icons that you need in almost any format and any size (may vary). And you can sort search results by color, icon style, license etc. enjoy!
iconfinder.net is my go-to. It's been around forever.
