As a web designer here is my stance:
- I will only use free fonts
- I will only use patent-unencumbered fonts
- I will only use less-than-100k fonts
That's my credo.
- nimbupani 17y agoI have mentioned in my article where you can get free legal and small size @font-face friendly fonts from. Though it is quite hard to find a small-sized font for languages other than english.
- dflock 17y agoDon't forget that you can setup your webserver to serve font files gzipped, which often gets ~50% compression on ttf's.
- nimbupani 17y agoyep. But for a 2MB font file that still comes to about 1MB which is quite hefty a load for one page. The main problem is Safari blocks the text from rendering until the font loads, which I think is not good for usability.
