Fonts Activity Statement

Fonts for Web documents come from different sources: they can already be on the reader's machine, they can be carried inside the document (possible with SVG, e.g.), or they can be indicated with a link and downloaded on demand. That last possibility exists in CSS and SVG under the name of Web Fonts. It's often also simply called @font-face.

Highlights Since the Previous Advisory Committee Meeting

The WebFonts Working Group published a Candidate Recommendation of the WOFF specification in August 2011 and has since concentrated on testing:

User Agents (WOFF support in browsers) - results
Authoring Tools (WOFF export from editing tools and conversion utilities) - results
File format (valid and invalid WOFF files, to exercise validators)

Upcoming Activity Highlights

The Working Group expects exit CR soon, having 100% test coverage for editing tools and font validation, and over 99% coverage for user agent tests.
