Lectora and Adobe Typekit fonts
December 22, 2014 12:00 AM
My company is implementing a new branding scheme which includes Typekit fonts. I'm wondering how I can comply to this new branding without having to use their fallback font choice of Arial. Some questions I have are;
1.) Can Adobe Typekit web fonts be used with Lectora, through an HTML extension to insert the embed code to the fonts into Lectora published pages?
2.) If the desktop version of a Typekit font is installed on a system running Lectora, would that enable it to be used in the editor/preview output?
3.) Can a desktop Typekit font be embedded into Lectora published pages to eliminate the need for an HTML extension?

Not sure about your approaches. Try them. Can't be too hard.
If it were me, I would develop using the TypeKit fonts and make all text boxes Convert to Image. But you could not use any Display Message actions. I would replace them with Display Popup Page and put the desired text in on those pages where I could make them Images.
Well, the GoogleFonts API was easy enough to implement. (Now I find out they're using Google and Adobe fonts) Just add a meta tag to your project and it works, albeit with a little bit of added overhead and a momentary FOUT. TypeKit should be the pretty much the same but it requires a subscription. Haven't tried it yet though.
