Web fonts now (how we’re doing with that)
- juliend2 17y agoI tried Cufon on a few projects lately and so far i think that it's the best solution for embedding non-web-safe fonts in html. I also tried sIFR and and FaceLift (which did not work properly in Safari for some reasons). Cufon does not rely on a plugin or a specific back-end technology to work. Instead it relies on Javascript and (Canvas|VML).

- ZeroGravitas 17y agoWell one issue is the Cleartype is, somewhat unbelievably, worse than the standard Windows rasterisation for text at display sizes, where you would most want to use custom fonts: http://jontangerine.com/log/2008/11/display-type-and-the-raster-wars http://jontangerine.com/log/2008/11/display-type-and-the-ras... Personally, even with that caveat, I don't think the accessibility trade-offs make sense to ditch the built in system for some 3rd party hack. That's never stopped web designers before though.
