This can also make the work of website design faster, more effective and safer.

As the CSS3 fonts module supports font downloading and it has been also implemented in some browsers such as Safari 3.1, Opera 10 and Mozilla Firefox 3.5. So the use of font downloading is necessary and brings much convenience, as well as increases interest in web typography.
