Downloadable font formats for the Web. See also: Web Font Optimizer (visit in anything except Firefox). 2009 will be an exciting year for typography on the web, particularly when Firefox 3.5 comes out this summer. Hat tip: Mark Wubben. ¶

Inspired by Chris Shiflett’s article exploring the status of font linking support in browsers, I also wrote about the future of font linking. It certainly will be an interesting 2009.

An interesting tool, this Web Font Optimizer. I’ve been using a special font in my header for quite a while now. That takes a while to load. Would be great if this tool allowed upload and processing of individuel fonts as well.

Good news. Somebody read my mind. I’m sure there will be an explosion of changes and improvements in this whole realm.

Wow, I’ve been looking for something like this… hope its exact. Nice.

I’ll stick with sIFR until there is better support. If only there was a way to make Web Fonts compatible with older browsers.

I highly recommend cufón, which is a great and very easy to use alternative to sIFR and FLIR, I’m no programmer, and had it up and running in 5 minutes.

Cufon is amazing! It creates images on the fly, so I would recommend it only for banner and bigger/special text generation, but it is so easy to use, my kid could do it.
