Cufón Generator

Repackaged in a simple interface from the original cufón converter. Convert your fonts to webfonts in a blink.

Cufón is a font-replacement technique that uses javascript and vector graphics to write fonts from a font file. It is a very poor method for loading custom font resources in a modern web environment.

Pick Regular typeface(Required) and other optional variants (bold,italic,bold italic)

Press to add another domain field

Utilizing this feature is highly recommended, and may even be required if you're using commercial fonts.

You can also use wildcards (e.g. *.example.org to cover example.org and all subdomains of example.org). Using a font that doesn't match any of the allowed domains results in only plain text showing up.

A lower value (64 at minimum) results in slightly better performance and smaller file size at the cost of accuracy. Values lower than 256 are not recommended unless you are OK with visible loss of detail. You may also use the optimal scaling chart to find a suitable scaling value. Native values in quality fonts are usually either 1000 or 2048.

It's recommended to disable this feature if you're planning to use small font sizes.

You should keep this value fairly low, at about 0.5-1% of the font's em-size. Optimizations are performed after the font has been scaled (if at all).

Also, try to make sure your server serves gzipped JavaScript. 70-80% drops in file size are not unheard of.
