If you know of a list containing all/most of the good* foundries/vendors supplying webfonts I’d like to see it. Until then here is mine. I’ll be adding and updating as I find them.
Vendors
Foundries
* Subjectively speaking, of course.
† Unless the foundry from which you’ve licensed the type allows modifications I would not use their @font-face generator.
EDIT: I started this list and then was reminded about Webfonts.info by my pal, Stephen Coles. So now we can all just use that and harass them if something is missing over there. :)
It goes without saying that the WebOTF supporter’s list has grown to represent a handsome list of foundries. However, it has been brought to my attention that the word support is perhaps a little vague. The list simply represents the foundries who support the idea of the proposal. As far as I know there have been no contracts signed. There is also a growing list of foundries that support the proposal for the EOT Lite format.
It’s true. With this much weight behind the .webfont proposal (2.1), it has to should be taken seriously.
The foundries listed below have expressed their support for the WebOTF proposal. The term “support” is understood to be general approval of the proposal and its intentions, not an exclusive commitment to it, or a formal endorsement of it.
Update: Tal Leming and Erik van Blokland, along with the help of Jonathan Kew (Mozilla), have written an updated proposal and re-christened the format, WebOTF. Read the new proposal. Until I hear back from all foundries, only those foundries in italic have stated their support of this new updated format.
John Gruber supports it too. TypeKit also likes the idea of it.
Based on what I understand, I am biased toward WOFF. But I should mention there is another format, in addition to WOFF, also garnering support for EOT Lite as another format being considered.
[Note: This is an evolving post. As new foundries are known to support it I will add them.]
