Dynamic fonts
Dynamic fonts are fonts formatted in such a way that they can be either automatically grabbed from the author's site or embedded in an html page. This insures that the html page reader sees the page in the intended font, which is especially useful for non-standard scripts. Two competing formats exist today, PFR (Portable Font Resource) and EOT (Embedded Open Type). Tools exist to create PFR or EOT files from TTF files. PFR is supported in Netscape 4.0 and above. EOT is supported in Internet Explorer 4.0 and above. It is Bitstream/Truedoc (PFR) versus Microsoft (EOT). Why the original TTF files could not have been used for this purpose, only the devil knows. Tools to create these dynamic fonts are here: |
