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.
