Non-standard fonts for the site

Question

Fonts

The customer asks to make some blocks on the site with non-standard fonts. I started to study this issue. Of the options - @font-face (through the @font-face Generator service, for example), Google Font API, and pictures (with alt-signatures) - the old fashioned way.
What can you advise to use? I must say right away that there is not much text - blocks of links. And how do mobile devices react to these methods (@font-face and Google Font, everything is clear with pictures)?

Answer 1

Better Google Font API. Good CDN, no need to think about connection options for compatibility with different browsers, generated code - all that remains is to insert a line.
Fonts will be displayed in all modern browsers (except perhaps Opera Mini - I don’t know how things are with fonts there). If you don't need full support for IE 6 and Firefox 1, you can use them.

Answer 2

maybe, it makes sense to highlight link blocks not with fonts, but with design through CSS

Answer 3

I don't understand what is the problem? Why does the generator not suit the same fontface?

Answer 4

Provide an alternative for those users who will not be delighted with the creativity of the customer. Is the font very non-standard or is it included in the basic OS distribution?

Answer 5

Just not a picture, even if “beautiful” fonts are not displayed on some platform, they will be replaced by standard ones.
Do not neglect cross-browser compatibility for the sake of imaginary beauty.
