- @font-your-face is allows web font usage from a variety of sources. @font-your-face provides an interface to pick and choose fonts from many existing font sources. Very well written and supported. Webfont Loader module integrates with @font-your-face for all font providers so you can have a look/feel that is consistent across browsers while still having the ease/use of font-your-face.
