>Anyone know the current status on embedded fonts in web pages? ... If you go to http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=fonttoo llinks you'll find some links to sites for tools for font use on the web. >So, short of using small image files, what's the current state-of-the-art technical >solution to this. I'm aware of three technologies that are available. Two (WEFT and Truedoc) involve preparing fonts for HTML embedding and then using appropriate instructions within CSS. Note, though, that neither works on all browsers, and no browser (that I know of) works with both. The third (GlyphGate) requires (as I understand it) the use of a proprietary server. On the other hand, I believe it works with multiple browsers, though I think it may require plug-ins. >Question (2) is the same as question (1), except that I don't own the copyright. The only issue, then, is whether the font license permits you to make modifications to the font as may be needed for use by one of the aforementioned technologies. >I don't think I'm even allowed to say "Please download and install this font in order to >view this web page correctly". That you most likely cannot do. Peter Peter Constable Globalization Infrastructure and Font Technologies Microsoft Windows Division
