Quite a few webbrowsers used today seems to support SVG images. Maybe
rendering the preview to SVG (curves) would work? Khaled Hosny wrote: The new OFLB website uses @font-face CSS property for font preview, but I wonder if we really need it? Most browsers don't support it, even with the release of Firefox 3.1 we still have around 70% of web users with browsers that don't support it. Even if we put this aside, why I need to download a several megabits font just to get a static preview of it, it isn't even dynamic, what is the benefit (some Arabic or CJK fonts are even larger). Don't get me wrong, I find @font-face very great feature, but I think we are misusing it here.I think generating server side previews gives more better and responsive user experience, I think "font playground" already does this, just we need to merge it into the "main body" of the page instead of the current hidden (and annoying) separate popup (or whatever it is called).
