I installed NoScript recently and was surprised to see so many sites linking to typekit or other centralized repos for JS related to rendering fonts. Why do sites using webfonts have JS dependencies? Is it something to do with licensing?
Between products like DTM and typekit, Adobe has been quietly positioning itself to be a tracking/advert power house.
- whelming_wave 7y agoFor paid fonts where you license them for web use (sometimes by the view/download!), it isn’t unusual for them to require you to use their css/js/etc to embed the font so they can track where your license is being used, by how many people, etc. That’s the justification they present, at least.
