I just tried to generate font-face kit for myriad pro. but its showing that this font is black listed, Why?
Any idea?May 12, 2011 at 1:24 am #76588chrisburtonParticipantBecause others would be able to download it off your site. It is a pro font you have to pay for that I believe came from adobe.
May 12, 2011 at 7:54 pm #76418mshort1985Memberif you want to use the font on a website your best bet would be to either use something like Flir or Sifr(I think thats what it’s called). Chris has tutorials on how to use both of those on this site.
Another alternative if you don’t mind if its not that exact font is to use something like google fonts and find a font that looks similar and use that.
May 12, 2011 at 8:40 pm #76421LuminatedMemberNo way, use Cufon…much better solution for font embedding.
May 13, 2011 at 1:59 am #76395chrisburtonParticipantI like font squirrel
Each @font-face font kit come with:
TrueType Fonts for Firefox 3.5+ , Opera 10+, Safari 3.1+, Chrome 4.0.249.4+
EOT fonts for Internet Explorer 4+
WOFF fonts for Firefox 3.6+, Internet Explorer 9+, Chrome 5+
SVG fonts for iPad and iPhone
Cufón fonts in case you want them
Demo.html and stylesheet.css so you can get going fastMay 13, 2011 at 3:42 am #76385TT_MarkMemberYes, but you should only use Font Squirrel if you have a license to embed the fonts on a website. Otherwise others can download them for free
May 13, 2011 at 4:08 am #76383chrisburtonParticipantDoes font squirrel allow that? I tried uploading a few fonts that weren’t licensed and they caught it.
May 13, 2011 at 5:25 am #76345TT_MarkMemberHmm..how does it know if they are licensed to you though?
May 13, 2011 at 6:21 am #76350BrightonmikeMemberHow or Why is cufon better? I’ve never understood this.
May 13, 2011 at 6:55 am #76351chrisburtonParticipantTouche TT_Mark.
May 13, 2011 at 2:04 pm #76326jimsilvermanMembercufon basically creates an entire font rendering engine in javascript to display custom fonts. @font-face just points the browser to the font file so it can render the font.
as a result, cufon generally looks better (especially on windows) but is much heavier and creates very ugly, non-semantic html.
December 21, 2012 at 6:05 am #118387RobinParticipantI am agree with jimsilverman.
cufon generate very ugly, non-semantic html.
I think @font-face is best option instead of this.December 21, 2012 at 6:09 am #118388RobinParticipantI’ve fixed this! Chrome likes it when you load the SVG line first. Just move that up in priority. Hmm… someone should tell Font Squirrel.

e.g.
src: url(‘geosanslight-webfont.svg#GeosansLightRegular’) format(‘svg’),
url(‘geosanslight-webfont.eot?#iefix’) format(’embedded-opentype’),
url(‘geosanslight-webfont.woff’) format(‘woff’),
url(‘geosanslight-webfont.ttf’) format(‘truetype’);let me know if that works for you. cheers!
