Fonts.com Web Fonts is Live

We are very excited to intro­duce Fonts.com Web Fonts – a ser­vice you can try for free as of today. We have been work­ing hard to design a ser­vice that will allow Web design­ers to focus on the design of their sites and spend less time con­tend­ing with work­flow com­plic­a­tions and design com­prom­ises. The dis­ad­vant­ages of dis­play­ing text in graph­ics or other tech­no­lo­gies are numer­ous and have frus­trated design­ers since the early days of the Web. One must invest in and learn how to use image pro­cessing soft­ware, learn how or work with IT to host these images, and cre­ate a pro­cess for man­aging and updat­ing these assets. At the end of this lengthy pro­cess, the designer is left with a Web site with text that is dif­fi­cult for vis­it­ors and search engines to access.

If you want to add more or change your Web fonts simply add addi­tional fonts to your pro­ject and change the fonts assigned to your select­ors. Save the pro­ject again and you’re done.

We look for­ward to your feed­back on our ser­vice. I believe this is just the begin­ning of a small revolu­tion. Today the first Web sites are using Web fonts. Tomor­row, we expect to see this tech­no­logy in con­sumer elec­tronic devices and beyond.
