The three screenshots above are all examples of what @font-face can do.
The main problem with
@font-face
, aside from the ever-present issue of
browser compatibility, is that most font licenses—even those of free fonts—
do not allow you to serve the fonts over the Web. That's where
@font-
face
services such as Typekit, Fontdeck and Kernest are stepping in. They
work with type foundries to license select fonts for Web design on a “rental”
basis. These subscription-based services let you rent fonts for your website,
giving you a much wider range of fonts to work with, while avoiding
licensing issues.
