What are WebFonts?

WebFonts are a technology that enable people to use fonts on demand over the Web without requiring installation in the operating system. The W3C working group has introduced webfonts as part of the CSS 2 specification, and addendums are included in CSS 3. Until recently, downloadable fonts have not been common on the Web due to the lack of an interoperable font format. Modern browsers support the now widely used format (and woff2 for better compression). In the past other formats like eot (initial proprietary Microsoft), ttf (uncompressed) or svg were used.
