Want to use awesome fonts on your website? Fed up of mastering Cufon, sIFR et al? Don’t want to pay for services like Typekit?

Then look no further.

The time is now to start using the magical @font-face.

Font Squirrel

On the Font Squirrel website, you have access to around 100 ‘font kits‘. The kits include everything you need to use the beautiful fonts on your website.

There’s the .TTF and the ever elusive .EOT.

For those that don’t know, the .EOT file is needed for IE. Microsoft have implemented the @font-face declaration in every browser since and including IE6. .EOT is a proprietary format belonging to Microsoft.

The kit even include the license that you can upload to your server, to stop any arguments about the usage of the font.

@font-face

This is great, web designers everywhere can rejoice, they’ve been waiting for this moment for years.

There’s now a viable way to use @font-face and Font Squirrel has an ever growing collection of fonts available, all totally free, with the correct license.

What more could you ask for?
