Quick test of the font service from TypeKit.com

Typekit is commercial service that lets you embed non-standard fonts into HTML pages. It is relatively easy to use and takes care of all the licensing issues. So far, all good. Yesterday, I did a quick test of the service using the font LFT Etica Display.

I must say results were disappointing and showed far too much difference than what’s acceptable. It may have something to do with this specific font, like the font-hinting.

It’s sad to see that Opera is not supported at all, even though the latest versions have native support for font embedding.

All the tests were done on a Windows 7 PC.
