The time has finally come to throw Arial and Verdana into the trash (Helvetica can stay), as Monotype, Linotype & ITC have teamed up to develop a really cool service - web fonts!

webfonts.fonts.com lets you use over 7,500 fonts on your sites. The result isn’t images, but markable, search engine friendly text.

To get started, visit webfonts.fonts.com and register as a user. You’ll then be able to create different projects, to which you can add custom fonts.

After that, you can bind your selected fonts to CSS elements, classes and IDs and paste in the generated JavaScript into your site’s source code.

Web fonts is free up to a certain amount of page hits, but the free account will not give you access to all fonts. Still, 1.500 fonts is a great service, so make sure to try it out!
