Incremental font transfer is an upcoming technology that will allow users to download only the parts of the fonts they need while retaining full rendering fidelity. Garret Rieger and his collaborators are aiming to have this technology shipped in browsers so it can be used across the web to make font loading faster. To realize adoption by browsers, they are working with the W3C Web Fonts Working Group to standardize the technology.
In this presentation, Rieger will offer:
A look at the two types of incremental font transfer being considered for standardization.
A comparison of the performance of incremental font transfer to existing font loading techniques.
An update on the current state of incremental font transfer standardization.
