Typekit for Custom Fonts

silurian1980 · 2010-11-11 15:16:15

Anyone used this? Is it worth paying the yearly sub? http://typekit.com/ Don't like the idea of sIFR converting text to flash elements, not good for iPhones and I presume it may slow the loading of the page. Any other suggestions for custom fonts on websites? Cheers

You can use a limited library with a credit on your site, so try it out and see. Some fonts render horribly on windows, firefox machines so be sure to test it properly.

Try it out. Embeds the font via javascript (I think...) and transforms the target text.
