FontJazz is a tiny typographic engine written in JavaScript, enabling webdesigners and developers to use any typeface on a website. You can select here any TrueType or OpenType typeface from your local computer, and upload it for processing.
FontJazz does not take the usual road, where an image is generated on the server-side, for every headline – an approach that is rather ineffective. Instead, FontJazz implements a simple type-rendering engine in JavaScript, which means that any headlines are rendered 100% client-side, without any kind of server-side dependencies or bandwidth overhead.

Unlike traditional web-font solutions, FontJazz requires the user’s browser to fetch only a single image and a tiny JavaScript file, and only once for any number of headlines.
The JavaScript uses DOM and works with IE5+, Firefox 2+, Opera 9+, Google Chrome and most likely any other standards-compliant browser. You can click here to read license information or visit here to download.
