Forget about using @font-face thanks to Google
Web designers beware that if you’re eager to use @font-face in the near future you can forget it! With Google now entering the web-font market the guys over at font-face.com decided it was a lost cause to continue on their noble quest. Personally, I would be rather upset if I had invested 100s of hour of labor just to be overtaken by a giant. Hopefully Google will kick them over some pity capital.
Google Unveils the Google Font Directory and API
Google is looking to help all of us web and graphic designers out there who have been trying to break free of the CSS font-family limitations. How are they doing this? Today Google released the Google Font Directory and Google Font API in attempts to bring a selectable and dynamic font solution to the web. I’m expecting the directory in the future this solution will grow to become the web’s leading robust and scalable font library and API.
The good things about this web font solution is that it is very easy to implement and the text is completely selectable (for copy-and-paste purposes). The downsides (both will eventually become irrelevant) are that not every browser will support it… mostly the old school ones that no one should care about anymore, and that it in it’s current state the Google Font Directory is limited to a about 20+ fonts (of which you’d probably use about 10). As the web continues to evolve both of these ‘downsides’ will no longer be relevant.
