css3 fonts

[findtim]

is anyone using this technique, placing this code into the css eg:

@font-face {
font-family: 'OpenSansCondensedLight';
src: url('fonts/OpenSans-CondLight-webfont.eot');
src: url('fonts/OpenSans-CondLight-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/OpenSans-CondLight-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/OpenSans-CondLight-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('fonts/OpenSans-CondLight-webfont.svg#OpenSansCondensedLight') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}

and then uploading the fonts to website.

or are you getting them straight from google fonts ?

i've found this website useful today as it gives you the fonts and the css in the free download

I've used it in the past but prefer to use Typekit or Google

Thanks for the links Tim and FPR.

For WordPress I'm using WP Google Fonts (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-google-fonts/).

Also, take a look at FontMeister. I haven't used it, but on the list to try out. It also supports Typekit etc.
