Web Font Loader acts as an unified interface, a general purpose API for fonts loaded via @font-face property.

Today the library works with fonts hosted on services like Google Fonts, Typekit, Fonts.com, Fontdeck, and fonts loaded from your own server.

Web Font Loader comes with various events to let the developer/application know the desired font family is still loading, active, fully loaded or has encountered an error.

These can be used to trigger various JS functions, for either beautifying the page even more or just for applying fallback styles with browser native fonts.

The library supports asynchronous font loading and works with multiple font families at once, even if hosted on different services.
