Description
After nearly two decades of cursing browsers, designers can finally get the fonts they want to work reliably on the web without using Flash. Web fonts make it possible to package and deliver specific fonts rather than guessing what might be on users' computers and hoping that fallbacks don't look too dreadful. Web fonts have been a long time coming, but the last two years have seen an explosion of both browser support and font providers eager to sell their fonts over the Web. Whether you're a traditional graphic designer, web designer, or front-end engineer, you'll find the pieces here to make web fonts work for you - reliably, conveniently, and superbly.

Person
Jason has been blending design & technology since the early days of Mosaic and Netscape. Through years in both creative and technical leadership roles for Fortune 100 clients, well-renowned professional sporting sites and a host of other clients large and small, Jason brings in-depth experience in a broad range of disciplines. Ranging from branding, print design, all aspects of web design & development and even data center infrastructure management, he most enjoys challenges that draw upon all his diverse experiences to truly transform his clients' businesses. In recent years he's also begun sharing more of his unsolicited advice with the Drupal community, speaking at various web conferences and writing on sites like Fonts.com about things he's done wrong in the hopes that others might fare just a bit better than he.
