Safari 3.1 for Windows and Mac supports the embedding of sfnt fonts (TrueType, OpenType PS, OpenType TT) using the font-face declaration. Technically the fonts are not embedded in the website, but they are simply linked like an image file. One big dilemma though. Due to permissions you cannot legally upload commercial fonts to a public web server, thats why you are limited to only freeware fonts. In my opinion, what’s the difference from embedding types in flash, there must be a solution for this, some way to protect the fonts? I’m so tired of using only web-supported fonts. This quote from John Gruber sums up the dilemma: “The fonts you’re allowed to embed legally aren’t worth using; the fonts that are worth using aren’t embeddable.”.


But I guess this is a step in the right direction. And as always, Apple is the one to take the lead. Am I wrong? :)


Thanks to Ralf Herrmann!

This is just brilliant! This has not yet been formally announced, but it’s fully functional and open to all. FontStruct is a free font-building tool from the retailer of digital type, FontShop. FontStruct lets you quickly and easily create fonts constructed out of geometrical shapes, which are arranged in a grid pattern, like tiles or bricks. You create ‘FontStructions’ using the ‘FontStructor’ font editor. Once you’re done building, FontStruct generates high-quality TrueType fonts, ready to use in any Mac or Windows application.
