WebFonts

Weytk,

I've known that there have been different solutions for embedding fonts in
websites, but now that it has standardized it is pretty good to use.  The
Browser support is pretty good.  Here is a list of browsers and their
support for the standard:

Embedding fonts is a good way to ensure that your page displays correctly.
 To add this to an existing site you would need to do very little to get it
up and running.  I think in a lot of cases it would involved oneline of CSS.

Things to be aware of would be that it adds to the size of the Downloaded
page so it would slow down people on not so fast connections.  Also not all
fonts can be distributed through webfonts, because of copyright issues, but
fonts with OpenLicenses are fine.

Now Google has taken it a step further and implemented a font directory that
people can use:

http://code.google.com/webfonts

You can use that to embed different fonts in your website.

Have a good weekend.
