Hi all,

With a considerable risk of sounding spammy, FontFont is now offering webfonts in WOFF and EOT formats. 
FSI worked on this full time since the WOFF proposal was out.

> Introducing Web FontFonts

> For nearly 15 years, web designers had two frustrating choices when it came to type on the web: use one of the few “web safe” fonts preinstalled on major operating systems, or substitute text with images and Flash/JavaScript® hacks. Not anymore. Recent developments in web standards and font formats make it possible to render HTML text in typefaces other than the same old default fonts. Today, FSI FontShop® International is leading the charge to offer fonts designed specifically for web use. More than 30 of the most successful FontFont families are now available as Web FontFonts®, including FF DIN®, FF Meta®, FF Dax®, andFF Kievit®.
