Our Experience with Fonts.com Web Fonts
The service looks pretty straightforward. You set up a project with as many
domains as you want and then select the fonts you want to use for that
project. Selecting fonts is a bit slow (it takes 30 seconds or more for a font
to actually be added to a project), but not enough to be prohibitive. There՚s
a huge selection of fonts and powerful tools for sorting through them, in
addition to search capability.
From there, you have to enter each CSS selector for which you would like to
use a web font and select the font used for that particular selector using a
drop down menu that lists the fonts you already selected for the project.
One place where Fonts.com really stands out is in the options you have for
publishing your new web fonts. There are two different JavaScript options
— an “Easy” option and an “Advanced” one — that let you add the fonts to
selectors directly in your stylesheet rather than just through the web
interface, as well as two non-JS options (also “Easy” and “Advanced”).
