Post Week 1 Presentation

After this week lesson, I want to talk more about WOFF that I seemed to have miss out from my previous post.

WOFF
WOFF is a very new font format developed by W3C Web Fonts Working Group to provide an alternative to the currently available font types. I believe they hope to use this font type as a web standard.

Disadvantages of WOFF
  • WOFF is not a common font type, none is it widely used by any operating system.
  • WOFF remains to have the same difficulty faced by other font type, which is the need for users to have a soft copy available on their sever for end-viewers' computer to use them.

Alternative Google font
I am really impressed by google. The last time I went to google font, during Nov 2010, they only have ~10 fonts type. Now, they have ~75 font types! Woah...



Now working on my assignment one. If any of you are facing design bottle neck, you can go to take a look. =)
