8 Web Font Stacks
Michael Tuck hat sich mit Schriften für’s Web auseinandergesetzt und stellt 8 Web Font Stacks vor.
The font stacks listed here are grouped together by the universal font that forms the base of that stack. A designer can therefore decide on a typographical look for their site, grab the appropriate font stack, and tweak it to suit their needs.
Dabei hat er neben der Verbreitung einige weitere Aspekte berücksichtigt:
However, a reliable font stack must take into account a number of factors, not just the number of users that have one specific font installed. (…) A lot of fonts undergo name changes over the different operating systems, which is why I’ve listed them all; for example, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Palladio, URW Palladio L, and Book Antiqua are all (more or less) the same font.
Additionally, some thought has been put into which variants have a larger Unicode character family, and which then precede its cousin in its stack.
Vielen Dank für diese Arbeit, ich finde das ist sehr hilfreich.
