Webfont Generator

I was looking for some social media icons to use on my site & came across the great Socialico set by Jelio Dimitrov. These are great but unfortunately don’t include an @font-face kit to enable use on websites. After some searching I found the mighty Fontsquirrel which converts fonts into a web font format & packs it all up neatly into an @fontface css file. Incredibly useful.

* Update – 21/03 – Whilst this technique did work – the rendering of the font in most browsers was unusable. Since writing this I have created .png files to maintain clean, crisp edges for the social media links on the website.

I found using css transitions and animating the opacity has produced cleaner results.

Use Fontsquirrel with caution. 😐
