Fonts Live


Fonts Live is a new web font service from Ascender Corporation — the

the “Segoe” family of fonts for Microsoft Windows, and the Ascender Fonts
desktop font web store. Fonts Live is similar to Webtype (both were
developed by DevBridge), however, Fonts Live serves fonts exclusively from
Ascender and its partners.
