Make your web nicer with web-fonts: Google Chrome + @font-face
Unfortunately, the might and powerful his magesty Google Chrome or Chromium is unable to download and display custom fonts. BTW, its closest relative, Apple Safari, which is also based on WebKit, able to display fonts from third version.
Fortunately, this is just an option by default. You just have to say it your desire to see downloadable fonts, via command line.
In Linux:
chromium-browser --enable-plugins --enable-remote-fonts %U
In MacOS:
/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium --enable-remote-fonts
In Windows that looks like this.
And than look at reference: http://www.css3.info/preview/web-fonts-with-font-face/ or (that’s excellent!) http://nicewebtype.com/fonts/graublau-sans-web. More about web-fonts at webfonts.info.
P.S. So, now I wonder if there is a command-line option, that will force Chrome to draw round-corners fine (I mean with anti-aliasing).
