Embed Any Font You Want Into Your Website
One of the annoying things about web design is the fact that you are really quite limited in the number of fonts that you can use on your website. Unless you’re really into rendering your text to graphics and adding a pile of alt tags so that search engines can see your content, there really is little that you can do.
Well, it appears that your prayers have been answered. typeface.js is a javascript library that will render your text in real time so that your website looks the way it should without all of the advanced work. Check out some examples of how this works.
You also aren’t just limited to the fonts that the authors of typeface.js produce. You can upload any TrueType font that you may have in your library (i.e. c:\windows\fonts folder) and it will prepare it for the script.

Might be worth checking back on this in 6 months to see if it is better developed for a production web site. And the fact that it doesn’t support some CSS yet, such as :hover, seems like a show stopper for me.

April 3rd, 2009 at 3:55 pmDoes this fall under distributing an actual typeface and violating copyright?
