I see a few overlapping fonts (or, at least, overlapping names) from Google Web Fonts. But most seem new.
Is there going to be a new competition over who has the 'cutting-edge' fonts?
- DASD 14y agoTheir linked blog mentions a partnership with Google regarding some of the fonts offered. http://blog.typekit.com/2012/09/24/introducing-adobe-edge-web-fonts/ http://blog.typekit.com/2012/09/24/introducing-adobe-edge-we... With that said and paranoia of external asset serving/hosting, does anyone know if these fonts can be self-hosted?
- icoloma 14y agoAlso, there is an extra DNS round trip by using an external web service. And I hate seeing JavaScript crawl into my <head> tag - certainly not for a web font.
- bduerst 14y agoI was wondering the same thing - Is there an advantage to using Adobe's web fonts over Google's fonts?
- genwin 14y agoOn my dev machine, Google's has an annoying flash / latency issue. Adobe's is smooth.
- bpatrianakos 14y agoI hope so! More competition means more awesome free fonts for me. I hope they compete bad. Some web fonts render terribly across platforms. Windows still has terrible awful horrible handling of fonts so anything these companies can do to improve that in web fonts would be much appreciated.
