Our Experience with Fontspring
Because these are self-hosted files, it՚s a bit harder to get everything set up
properly than it is with the other services here. When you purchase and
download a font that includes an @font-face licence, the download
package includes all the files you՚ll need for web implementation, including
the various font file formats like EOT and WOFF.
I found it easier to just copy and paste the stylesheet information included
into the existing site՚s stylesheet. Once that՚s done, you need to make sure
your fonts are loaded into the same folder as your stylesheet (or change
the URL information in the CSS). Add the font to your font stack and you՚re
ready to go.
The speed at which the fonts loaded was roughly the same as for most of
the other services here. The advantage to using this service is that you own
a permanent licence to the fonts, without any recurring annual fees and
with no restrictions on bandwidth or traffic.
