Lorsqu'on crée une site ou une page web, on a souvent, ou notre client, envie d'utiliser autre chose que les polices de caractères par défaut. Il existe plusieurs alternatives avec leurs inconvénients. Lisez le tableau comparatif ci-dessous pour faire le choix qui vous convient le mieux.

Principaux aspects à inspecter

Compatibilité

Si vous avez besoin que votre site web est un bon rendu sur la plupart des navigateurs (sur les iPad, les plateformes mobiles ou les vielles versions de navigateurs), il faudra regarder en détails la section compatibilité.

Flash de texte non stylé (FOUT)

Pendant un court instant la page affiche la police de caractère par défaut du navigateur, avant de se rafraîchir avec la font de votre choix. Pour éviter ce comportement désagréable vous devez choisir une solution qui se "charge rapidement"
