Rendering Fonts on Web With Typeface.js

Want to embed real fonts on your web page without creating graphic texts? Try Typeface.js. Being able to use any fonts for web texts and style it with CSS is on many web designer’s wishlist. No more creating images to have decent fonts on pages. How nice!

There are still a lot of improvements needed before Typeface.js can be widely adapted and fully functional. Most importantly full support for all font-face styles. But it’s already useful in some ways and it certainly is something to look forward to.

I played with it for a bit. It is so simple to use. A few javascript links, a standard css class name and that’s it. You can read all about the usage here.

Here is a test with Optimer TrueType that can be downloaded from Typeface.js site. This is not an image!!
