…and I hate to say it, but having tried font embedding all those years ago with EOT files, I haven’t used it since, as it was such a pain to set up.
Having said that, I’ve been experimenting in the past weeks with with font embedding in Safari. Its clear that Safari, Firefox and Opera will end up supporting the same standard CSS commands for embedding OpenType and TrueType fonts. It works quite well, and I guess will work in most mobile devices too, as they tend to use browsers based on one of these three.
So it makes me wonder whether this is Microsoft’s last gasp at trying to promote its own technology, when its clear that the world and its browser is moving in a different direction.
