@font-face, Real Fonts on the Web, For Real
October 06th, 2009While I haven’t had the opportunity to use the new/quite old @font-face rule on any real projects, I have done some quick tests, seen many great examples, and even reverse engineered TypeKit to see how they “securely” distribute licensed font libraries. @font-face gives me a lot of hope for the future of design and typography on the web. One day we’ll look back on the days when we were restricted to Times, Arial, Verdana, and Georgia as a nightmare that lasted far too long. The current batch of browsers do a decent job of supporting the @font-face rule, and they will only get better. Head over to Zoltan Hawryluk’s write-up to see a side by comparison of how the fonts are rendered in the major browsers, as well as an in depth look at how to use the rule and a list of great resources.
