Can I legally embed fonts into my website?
This will depend on the font usage terms as defined by the font foundry. Most font foundries permit you to generate a static, rasterized image (GIF, JPG) of the fonts on the web pages, although a few foundries require you to purchase additional license to cover such use. However, if you need to embed actual fonts software in your website, you will need to purchase Webfonts license. If you need to install the fonts in your webserver, you will need a WebServer License.
Please contact alt.TYPE if you have any questions regarding embedding of your font.
