Web Fonts - solutions from Ascender

Ascender has spent a great deal of time over the past few years working with the W3C community and other font developers on a cross-browser and cross-platform solution for web fonts.

We are pleased to offer web font licenses that provide web designers with new tools to enhance the typographic appearance of websites.

Web Fonts from Ascender

NEW! FontsLive from Ascender is a hosted subscription service for your website to access a collection of the highest quality fonts available on the web.

Web Fonts uses real downloadable fonts formatted for use with the CSS @font-face rule to W3C standards. No more text image replacement, JavaScript, or Flash required!

The Web Fonts service is easy to use, affordable and reliable. Simply add a line of code that we generate to each of your pages and then update your font-family tags with the web fonts you’ve chosen. We do all the heavy-lifting: tweaking the CSS for each specific web browser version and supporting multiple downloadable web font formats in a secure, compliant manner.

FontsLive is also available with a self-hosting option to web developers who prefer to control their all their site assets.

EOT and EOT Lite

The Embedded OpenType Format (EOT) is a web font format that Internet Explorer has supported for many years (from IE version 4). In the summer of 2009 Ascender made a proposal for "EOT Lite", but it not receive the support of W3C community, so Ascender has since discontinued support in favor of WOFF.

The new FontsLive Web Fonts service from Ascender addresses the limitations of previous solutions for Web Fonts, and the challenges of serving multiple web font formats to multiple versions of browsers.

Web Fonts from Ascender supports EOT, WOFF, TTF and SVG web font formats.
