Web font checklist

Fonts are tricky, and as a consultant it's even trickier because of licensing models and communication between multiple parties. So I've made this checklist:

  • Font family (e.g. "Times New Roman")
  • Variations of said family (e.g. "bold")
  • License to use those on a public website
  • It has all the glyphs needed for target languages (see example)
  • Hosting options:
    • Externally (e.g. Google Fonts)
    • Internally (e.g. same server as website or CDN)

For external hosting the developers need:

  • A HTML-snippet or JavaScript file
  • Contact person that can configure external hosting (for setting up SSL, etc)

For internal hosting the developers need the font files in these formats:

  • EOT
  • TTF
  • WOFF
  • SVG
