CSS 3 is on the horizon, and we’re all getting excited. Thanks to the latest browser updates, developers can begin working with time-saving new properties – such as @font-face. Unfortunately, the availability of these features is limited to a tiny fraction of our overall userbase. At least for the next year or so, we’ll need to continue utilizing the Flash and Javascript alternatives when embedding fonts.
Luckily, a new contender, Cufón, has made the process unbelievably simple. What makes it different? Rather than Flash, it uses a mixture of canvas and VML to render the fonts. In just a few minutes, I’ll demonstrate how to use any font you wish in your web applications. Excited?
