Typography on the Web again

, , , , , , , , , ,

Besides Sifr, which is based an JavaScript and Flash, a new method embeding custom on websites poped up: typeface.js. Basically this method rendering text with Javascript, <canvas> and SVG/ VML. Check out the examples too. The bad thing about this method is that you can't select and copy text in a easy way :frown:
Myslef dreaming about the upcoming @font-face support included in Firefox 3.1 (and still available in Opera or Webkit (Safari)). May M$ get it ready in IE8 too.

Typeface.js looks promising, but right now it doesn't work in Opera and produces PNGs in Firefox, looks like SVG support is not ready. Ironically it works the best in IE.
