Here’s an excellent demonstration of the rapid rise of webfonts: In May 2010, Google Labs rolled out a beta with 18 typefaces you could use on websites. As of today, Google has 288 webfont families, all freely available for you to use on any site.
And that’s great. But many Web designers begin their process in Photoshop, a fact that Extensis acknowledged a few months ago when it released the Web Font plug-in for Photoshop. This plug-in lets you use Extensis’ WebINK webfonts in Photoshop comps without paying for them.
Now the Web Font plug-in for Photoshop is even more useful: It’s added all of the Google webfonts to its library. Click here to download the Web Font plug-in. To learn more about it, read my article, “Use Webfonts in Photoshop for Free.”
