This specification extends the font mechanisms in CSS1 to define a new 'at-rule',
@font-face which permits improved client-side matching of
fonts, enables font synthesis and progressive rendering, and enables
fonts to be downloaded over the Web. This provides greater typographic
richness for HTML pages and improves the internationalisation of the
Web.
This document has been superseded.
