Font Face Observer

is a fast and simple web font loader. You can use it to load fonts and customise your browser’s font loading behaviour.

Font Face Observer gives you control over web font loading using a simple promise based interface. It doesn’t matter where your fonts come from: host them yourself, or use a web font service such as Google Fonts, Adobe Typekit, Fonts.com and Webtype.


var font = new FontFaceObserver('My Family', {
  weight: 400
});

font.load().then(function () {
  console.log('Font is available');
}, function () {
  console.log('Font is not available');
});

var font = new FontFaceObserver('My Family', {

weight: 400

});

font.load().then(function () {

console.log('Font is available');

}, function () {

console.log('Font is not available');

});

Development / AI / Automation / Build-Tools / Communication / Content Creation / Content Managment / CRM / Deployment / Docker

OCR used to be boring. You threw a scanned page at Tesseract, got back a wall of text with a few mangled characters, and moved on with your life. That was the whole genre for about fifteen years.
