Common formats and when to use them

  • Metrics and spacing:
  • Hinting & autohinting:
  • OpenType features:
  • Export & test:
  • Subsetting:

    • Packaging for web

  • Ensure correct MIME types on server.
  • Consider preloading critical fonts with and proper crossorigin attributes for cross-origin fonts.

    • Inspecting an existing packaged font (for Interpretation B)

  • Check licensing fields in 'name' or embedded LICENSE.txt.
