30 of the Best Font Foundries

Typography is one of the most important parts of any design, whether it’s digital or in print. Good typography can take a mediocre design to new heights, while bad typography can make what would be a great design lackluster or even bad. For web designers, typography choices have long been limited to web-safe fonts. But that’s changed in recent years, first with the advent of things like sIFR that let you replace standard web fonts with Flash for headlines or other small blocks of text, and now with @font-face and web services for embedding fonts. Below we’ve collected thirty fantastic type foundries. The majority of these allow at least some kind of online, embedded use, either with Flash or with @font-face. http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2011/02/30-of-the-best-font-foundries/

How to Add Cufon to your Web Pages | Fearless Flyer Web Design

http://fearlessflyer.com/2009/10/cufonize-your-pages-how-to-add-cufon-to-your-web-design/ I’m a big fan of Woothemes . It seems that each time they come out with a theme – they push the boundaries of web design. Take a look at their latest creation: Therapy – I can’t help but fall in love with the fine background gradients, smooth and seamless transparencies and nice rounded edges. But what I really like about Therapy is it’s amazing typography.

Comment utiliser une fonte «non-standard» sur un site Web ?

http://www.alsacreations.com/astuce/lire/630-fonte-personnalisee-site-web.html Il est de notoriété publique que l'usage des fontes sur le Web est limité à une poignée de fontes non pas standardisées, mais suffisamment répandues pour pouvoir être utilisées sans trop de risques. Et cela pour une raison très simple: la police de caractères que l'on souhaite utiliser doit être présente sur le système de l'utilisateur pour être utilisée par le navigateur. Quand @font-face tombe à l'eau CSS 2 (publié en 1998) comprenait un mécanisme qui autorisait les auteurs de pages web à proposer une fonte au téléchargement, fonte qui serait ensuite utilisée dans la page. Il s'agit de la règle @font-face .
Let me introduce you to the best way to do your @font-face definitions: This is the Fontspring @font-face syntax. I’ll circle back to why this is the best possible solution but let’s first review the other techniques’ weaknesses. Of course, the problem at the center of this is that IE needs an .eot font, and the other browsers must take a .ttf or .otf . http://paulirish.com/2009/bulletproof-font-face-implementation-syntax/
