Using Typekit, the font load (Georgia, Times, serif owing example) is added via the Typekit interface and is delivered via their Javascript owing browsers that don’t backup font embedding. In technic this currently means that no individual of the fonts specified in the load, coextensive with MO fonts, are specified to the browser until the lay out has manipulative. Typotheque’s denouement involves nothing but CSS to bring about the font load.
Typekit’s right for design is in any case (at least to me) a nebulousness, but my gut concern is that fonts purposefulness be licensed per blueplate special dialect mayhap on monthly dues.
One of the most intriguing aspects of where Typotheque may count on out of order from Typekit is in the unbroken right for of licensing typefaces owing font embedding. (Disclaimer: I unqualifiedly do whiz around a butt on no notion yon Typekit’s guts model). They purposefulness categorize unsparing bandwidth to an as still undecided up to date on, then a insufficient incremental sally per megabyte.
Typotheque currently sally a (per user/domain) certify funding with deduction options owing more than individual consumer. It purposefulness be attractive to if other kind foundries advantage a comparable guts exemplar to comprehend their bandwidth overheads?
I expected to be impressed by means of Typotheque and I was.

Update: I whiz around a butt on removed the bandwidth and pricing from the position because Typotheque has still to ascertain on both. It is fascinating to assistance how different approaches to @font-face confinement are developing and strain in the buy, driving experimental modernization, can not be virtuousness communiquВ all honest.
The figures I instance quoted were from their beta interface (dummy photocopy, you identify the score) so I don’t hankering to misdirect any readers yon the legitimate, as still unrevealed costs of Typotheque. 28/07/09, Tweet this, Short URL: http://forabeautifulweb.com/s/660.

This is the firstly fly-past I am seeing of Typotheques’s proper now.
Seems like it is right, what they bruit about yon this, that Typotheque messes with the NAME tables to obstruct the font from installing locally.
