At Ascender we added web fonts recently as an option to our desktop font licenses. We offer both a hosted web font service for small to large sites, and a self-hosted option for huge sites (greater than 500k visitors/month). We think our prices are quite reasonable for bloggers with small sites: for a site with less than 30k visitors/month it costs $10/year per font for a desktop font with a $20 retail price. All our fonts are premium quality commercial fonts licensed from leading type designers and foundries. We proof all our fonts to ensure they meet our quality standards across Mac & Windows platforms. We also grade fonts as being worth of being used at either text sizes or headline sizes. The Ascender Web Fonts platform does not use JavaScript, or ads, as you mentioned other web fonts solutions requiring. I hope you'll take a look at our approach and let us know what you think. We offer a free 30 day trial to test out our web fonts system. No gimmicks - we believe in providing the best possible solution and service. Would love to know what you think. Check us out at http://www.ascenderfonts.com. Thanks! Hi Rob – Thanks for your article and perspective. At Ascender we added web fonts recently as an option to our desktop font licenses.
