FONTS FOR ALL BROWSERS
Modern browsers support @font-face CSS, allowing for custom fonts on web pages. However, every browser supports @font-face a little bit differently.
FONTSLIVE MAKES BROWSERS EASY
The FontsLive service addresses the issues of serving different web font formats and CSS to different browsers. Simply insert a line of code we provide, update your CSS font-family properties with the fonts you have licensed, and we take care of the rest.
Cross-browser Support
FontsLive is compatible with all modern browsers. This covers all the popular browsers for both Windows and Mac, including the iPhone and the iPad. FontsLive is not currently supported by other mobile devices - the fallback fonts will display instead.
Cross-browser Tested
A font will display differently across platforms and browsers due to differences in the font rendering software at both the OS and application level. Some differences are significant while others are more nuanced. Each FontsLive font was tested with this in mind.

One Easy Code for Cross-browser Performance
We generate a Resource file that you paste into your web pages before </head> tag.
<link href="http://webfonts.fontslive.com/css/bf3e-423e-b161-6239fd76.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
This one line of code does all the heavy lifting, ensuring FontsLive works properly with all major browsers. As browsers change, we automatically update the resource file so you don't need to change a thing on your site!
For larger websites that choose to self-host web fonts, we provide a zip file to download the font assets, and a CSS font stack for implemention.
