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)
