Our Experience with TypeFront


Once you՚ve signed up for an account, uploading fonts is simple. Just make
sure the fonts you՚re using have a web-friendly licence. From this point you
have to enable the format you՚d like to use for the font (included are EOT,
OpenType, SVG, TrueType, and WOFF — at least for the font I used). Once
one of those formats is enabled, you have to add domains.


After you՚ve enabled your formats and set up the domains you want to use,


you have to copy the @font-face code into your CSS files and add the


font to your font stacks. The big advantage TypeFront has over the other
services listed here is that there is no noticeable delay before the correct
font is displayed.


Fontspring


Fontspring offers downloadable fonts for self-hosting. Unlike a hosted
service, Fontspring provides downloadable font files and sample code to
host web fonts on your own.
