Web Fonts
We all know about the possibility to include fonts via
CSSin our web site:@font-face { font-family: "Watusi"; src: url("http://www.example.com/fonts/watusi.ttf"); format("truetype"); } h1 { font-family: "Watusi", sans-serif; }
So, why don’t we use this technique ?
There are a few reasons:
- You may be violating your End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) with the font foundry.
- No support for this technique in Internet Explorer.
There is an workaround available for the Internet Explorer by Jon Tan. And there are Project on the way ( typekit , Typotheque ) to handle the license and technology problems for you. It’s just a matter of time when we can leave sIFR and Image Replacement technique’s behind us. Horay!
