WebINK & @font-face
• Use WebINK!
The WebINK font rental service gives you access to thousands of high-quality, affordable fonts. WebINK
handles the delivery of fonts to the requesting browser, so you don't have to host the fonts, don't have to
license the fonts, and don't have to create special CSS to cover individual browsers. For details on
integrating the CSS generated by WebINK into your own, see Integrating the WebINK CSS into your
Website.
• Use (and test) a fallback stack
You will have visitors to your website that use a browser that doesn't support @font-face. While they
won't get the ideal view that you'd like to present, you would still like them to be able to read and
understand your site. The fallback font stack tells the browser what font to use if the WebINK font is not
available.
