Another way to use custom fonts

Typekit is a service that allows you to connect non-standard fonts to site pages. It is strange that he has not yet met on the pages of his beloved Habr.



We register, after registration a trial account will be available. All others unfortunately paid. Next you need to create a kit - a plug-in that contains the library itself and css selectors. The whale, depending on the plan, can be used on several sites simultaneously. Only 2 fonts and 1 website are included in the trial kit.

We are informed that now we can connect the kit to our page:




Hint: if you need to write jQuery in your project - # hash # .js? Nojquery = true

Next, select the fonts we like and add to the whale. (The View button allows us to immediately see the font options, as well as what the future inscription will look like).



In the window that opens, select the options - font styles, css selectors and replace if the browser does not support @ font-face.
CSS selectors can be either .tk-font-name or h3, #id. This will save a little time without registering custom selectors in html.



Well, then everything is as usual ...

Of the benefits:
1. Smaller size compared to other solutions.
2. No need to convert your fonts.
3. The text can be highlighted!

Of the minuses:
1. Platen.
2. There is no possibility to use your own fonts - but you can send it to the developers.
3. (and most importantly for us) While there is no implementation of the Russian language.

It remains to be hoped that in the future the service will receive a serious CDN, support for Russian-language fonts and other useful features.

PS The day before yesterday, the service opened for everyone, but I’m happy to hand out 10 existing invites.
