The following tables compare support for different font formats and support for CSS3 font resources for a number of layout engines. Web fonts were initially defined (but later dropped) from CSS2, then added into CSS3. The specification is supported by an increasing number of web browsers.

Contents

Engine nomenclature

Rather than the names of web browsers and HTML to PDF converters, the names of the underlying engines are used. Some of the software and online converters that use the various engines are listed below.

Values

Values indicate the level of support in the most recent version of the layout engine, or (if a version number is given) in the specified version. Version numbers without any other value indicate the version at which the layout engine first fully supported the feature.

Support in HTML and XML documents

This table compares support for font formats applied with the @font-face rule in HTML and XML documents.

Support in SVG documents

This table compares support for font formats applied with the @font-face rule in SVG documents.
