Quinn - what do you mean by "so I don't have to use @font-face"?
Vernon - thanks for calling out the Fontue project. I stopped developing it for
2 reasons:
- browser support stabilized to the point where TFF & EOT provide
sufficient coverage
- my opinion that @font-face works best when the font files are local
to the project - rather than on a hosted service. In my experience w/ running
Kernest - there are very few scenarios where a hosted web font service is
superior to self-hosted.
Here's the @font-face declaration I normally use:
@font-face {
font-family: 'Allan';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url('fonts/allan/Allan.eot?#') format('eot'),
url('fonts/allan/Allan.ttf') format('truetype');
}
Is this helpful?
