Monotype Imaging has launched the public beta of Fonts.com Web Fonts, the company’s new sites for Web-focussed typefaces. The cloud-based service allows webpage designers, and other content creators access a wide range of fonts for designing websites, and advertising.
Type provider Monotype Imaging has introduced a non-commercial end user licence agreement, or EULA, that permits the use of fonts in the Embedded OpenType format on the Web. Intended to extend font choice for web page design, the EULA requires no additional fee for use on a non-commercial website when licensing products from the company’s Monotype, Linotype, ITC and Image Club typeface collections from Monotype Imaging’s e-commerce sites: Fonts.com, Linotype.com, ITCFonts.com and Faces.co.uk.
Agfa has announced that it is selling its font business Agfa Monotype to private equity firm TA Associates for $169 million (around £92.4 million).
