Extensis, which provides a webfont service called WebINK, has launched the coolest tool yet for experimenting with web fonts: the FontDropper.
Jason Santa Maria spoke with Webvanta at An Event Apart Seattle about web typography, web fonts, Typekit, and more.
We've written in the past about various ways to use real fonts on your web sites. Now, to make it even easier to get started, we've built support for fonts from Typekit into most of our SmartThemes.
In my previous post on using real fonts on the web, I highlighted a few web font service bureaus. These services seem to be proliferating like rabbits, and in this post I'll mention a few more.
In my previous post, I explained how CSS's @font-face tag enables designers to use a wider range of fonts without resorting to font replacement hacks. In this post, I'll explain the actual code and explore some of the services that make it easy to expand your web font repertoire.
Typography on the web has long suffered in comparison to print. The biggest limitation has been the limited number of fonts that a designer can use. It's still messy, but it is now possible to use a much wider range of fonts.
