Type designers and Web designers have reached a consensus on a format specification for embedding fonts on the Web. Mozilla is already including support for the font format in Firefox 3.6, and wide adoption could come sooner than many expected.

…

• The latest draft of the WOFF File Format specification is online.
• You can now download an official beta of Firefox 3.6, with support for WOFF fonts, from Mozilla’s developer site.
• Typographer Erik Spiekermann has put together a sample page that uses a WOFF version of the popular typeface FF Meta. You’ll need the aforementioned beta of FF3.6 to view the custom fonts.
• Mozilla’s John Dagget and Jonathan Kew have a post with several examples of more advanced typography generated using CSS properties at Mozilla Hacks.
• We have an introduction to @font-face and related CSS technology for those looking for more background, as well as a look at some of the issues that prompted solutions like TypeKit and ultimately WOFF.
