############################################################## # FONTUE - THE OPEN SOURCE WEB FONT SERVER ############################################################## # # Fontue is a Rack-based, open-source, # web font server built for Kernest.com # # For the latest version of this code visit: # http://github.com/garrickvanburen/fontue # # For more information about Rack: # http://rack.rubyforge.org/ # # Fontue's goals: # # - Keep @font-face declarations clean, readable, and cross-browswer compatible. # # - Serve the appropriate font format (otf/ttf, eot, svg, or woff) to browsers supporting @font-face. # # - Save bandwidth by effectively setting cache headers. # # - Save bandwidth by not sending fonts to user agents that don't # support @font-face. # # - Save bandwidth by not sending fonts to requests that shouldn't # receive the font (domain checking). # # - Serve fonts really fast. # ############################################################## # # FONTUE ASSUMES THE FOLLOWING @font-face { src: } SYNTAX # # @font-face { # ... # src: url('http://woffly.com/font/FONT_FILENAME_WITHOUT_FORMAT'), url('http://woffly.com/font/FONT_FILENAME_WITHOUT_FORMAT#SVG_FONT_ID') format('svg'); # } # ############################################################## # # TO INSTALL AND RUN FONTUE # # 1. Create a directory on your server for your web fonts. And update the font_server_directory variable in line 93. Default is '/fonts'. # # 2. Upload your web fonts into a directory to your server - say '/fonts' # - Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera like .otf & .ttf fonts # - Mobile Safari and early versions of Chrome prefer .svg fonts # - Later versions of Firefox also like .woff fonts # # 3. Upload fontue.ru to your server # Depending on the server you're using, you may also need a config.yml file. # # 4. Configure your Rack-compliant web server (i.e. Thin, Ebb, Lighttpd, etc) and Run: rackup fontue.ru # Fontue can also be easily adapted for use as an endpoint within Ruby on Rails' Metal. # # 5. Fontue will now be accepting requests on your server at: /font (change this in line 189) # ############################################################## # # Copyright (c) 2010 Garrick Van Buren, Working Pathways, Inc. # # Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person # obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation # files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without # restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, # copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell # copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the # Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following # conditions: # # The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be # included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. # # THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, # EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES # OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND # NONINFRINGEMENT.
