Here at ZURB, we created these icons with specific standards which gives a cohesive voice and style to develop an amazing font set for everyone to love, enjoy and use on their website. Some standards includes:
It's really easy to hook up the pack's stylesheets to bring your new icon web font to life. When you download the fonts, you'll be able to simply merge the foundation-icons.css and foundation-icons.[eot/ttf/svg/woff] files straight into Foundation.
I have a client who wants me to use a font that is not found on Google Fonts. What do you all recommend for embedding other fonts into a Foundation website? Is it better to purchase and embed the font file directly, or use a service like Typekit?
The CustomFont Stack allows you to use your own or custom fonts in styled texts or HTML. Be different with choosing your own typography in RapidWeaver projects. Also supports typography.com and fonts.com web fonts.
as @Basswow mentioned, CustomFont Stack allows font settings in Foundation or Total / Easy CMS (also site titles and menus). Of course not as integrated as Font Pro Stack from Joe, but only for 1/3 of the price.
@garth You might also want to look at Gutenberg -partners.com/pub/it/stacks/gutenberg/
This also allows you to use all types of Font Files. Supposedly WOOF font files are the thing. If you have any font file a ttf for example you can upload that in FONT SQUIRREL and then download a set of all types for that font.
The Web Open Font Format (WOFF) is a font format for use in web pages.WOFF files are OpenType or TrueType fonts, with format-specific compression applied and additional XML metadata added.The 2 primary goals are to first distinguish font files intended for use as web fonts from fonts files intended for use in desktop applications via local installation, and second to reduce web font latency when fonts are transferred from a server to a client over a network connection. Version 1 was developed...
While using foundation framework, I need to make font-size responsive.!The website has two columns 8x4. I have navigation and other links in 8 columns. The height of this block is stable. But, In the 4th column I have description and while opening in the different windows size I am seeing the different height of the description. I want that the height remain constant while changing the size of the screen by increasing the font proportionately.
I have tried media queries and assigned different font percentage for different screen size. 150% for max-width 1500 and font-size: 200% for font-size. But with this other features provided by foundation framework changes. Like paragraph bottom margins
Avoid skipping heading levels when structuring your document, as it confuses screen readers. For example, after using an in your code, the next heading used should be either or . If you need a heading to look bigger or smaller to match a specific style, use CSS to override the default size.
The values for 'font-size'/'fs', 'margin-top'/'mt' and 'margin-bottom'/'mb' are transformed into 'rem's. You can use any unit, but if you don't, we assume that you mean 'px'. If you do not set the keys 'font-size'/'fs' defaults to 1rem, 'margin-top'/'mt' to 0 and 'margin-bottom'/'mb' to $header-margin-bottom for size 'small'. Thereafter the values for a larger size are inherited from the values of the smaller size if no value is entered for a larger breakpoint.
The value for 'line-height'/'lh' is transformed into a unitless number, that expresses the line-height relative to the fonts-size. You can also input any unit. If you don't, we assume that for numbers smaller than or equal to 10, you mean a typical relative line-height. However, if you put in anything larger than 10, we assume you mean 'px', since we have not yet seen relative line-heights that were larger than 10. If you do not set 'line-height'/'lh' it defaults to $header-lineheight for size 'small'. Thereafter the value for a larger size is inherited from the values of the smaller size.
Prefer using actual text over text inside a graphic. Assistive technologies can't read an image, and the text in an image can't be resized by a browser, like normal text. If an image has text that needs to be read, add it in the alt attribute of the image.
The contrast between the color of an element's text and its background should be high enough that low-vision users can read it. The minimum recommended contrast ratio is 4.5:1. There are no automated tools that can effectively check this for you, but if you aren't sure about a specific color combination, you can run it through one of many color contrast checkers, such as WebAIM's color contrast checker.
When possible, use the rem and em units to size everything. Not just font size, but also padding, margins, and any length value. This ensures that your design scales up and down uniformly if the user changes their browser's text size. It's common for vision-impaired users to resize their browser up to 200% zoom.
We use the rem unit nearly everywhere in Foundation, and even wrote a Sass function to make it a little easier. The rem-calc() function can take one or more pixel values and convert them to proper rem values.
On top of that, Foundation includes a couple of simple classes you can use to control elements printing, or not printing. Simply attach .show-for-print to an element to only show when printing, and .hide-for-print to hide something when printing.
Foundation, the Apple TV+ series made from the Isaac Asimov books (and which has released only four episodes as I write this), uses a number of fonts with related design for the logo, on-screen text, in-scene signage and the title credits. Only in the last of these are most letters represented.
While readability is at least for me significantly affected, I do not read this OSMF wiki frequently enough to feel it worth fighting for a small change like swapping out a font file for another for endless amount of time.
I use comic sans for children to copy from and I have some word mats with simple words - an, in, the, it etc and then some common words such as mummy, Daddy etc. These mats are stuck to the mark making table as well as some numbers. I have lots of laminated words on the free choice trolleys too - not necessarily for them to copy but just so the environment is word rich
we have this discussion often at preschool- personally feel comic sans is so last year but i made the mistake of finding a lovely font and then realised after printing all the names that the 'a' was like this and not what the children learn !! Leladwee is a nice font for documents but there are so many out there !!
Didn't think of asking the school what they would prefer!! Have done it with Comic Sans for the moment and will ask them when we get back and if needs be can change it. Letters of our names aren't too bad but would prefer a more rounded y. I will look at the two recommended above.

The British Heart Foundation is a UK charity organisation. Founded in 1961, the BHF pumps hundreds of millions of pounds into life-changing research every year. Branding agency Wolff Olins was asked to give the BHF a much-needed brand refresh.
Working alongside Wolff Olins, we were commissioned to create a new bespoke font for the British Heart Foundation. The letterforms are based on its iconic logo, which features the waves of a heartbeat. The font comes in three weights and includes numerous ligatures, mimicking the flow of the logo. The design is packed with personality and is distinctively BHF.
Like many organizations, the FSF is suffering financially. Operational costs have risen and revenue has not kept up, because people all over the world are going through the same challenges as we are. The FSF has an important role to play for computer users globally for years to come, and we still have a lot of work to do.
First, in the US, the copyright status of fonts is somewhat confused.A font face -- that is, the look of a font, is not copyrightable (seeEltra Corp. v. Ringer, 579 F.2d 294 (4th Cir. 1978)). But font"programs" (truetype fonts, for example) are. Another ruling hasextended the definition of "programs" to include certain outline data.Why this outline data is not equivalent to a font face, nobody knows.Helpfully, the copyright office has also issued contradictorystatements on this. I don't know how font copyright works in othercountries.
What this means is that no font is going to affect thedistributability of a printed document in the US. Further, merelyreferencing the font (as in the CSS font-face: caslon;) does not create aderivative work of that font. So why did we worry about font licensingat all?
The situation we were considering was one where a font was embedded ina document (rather than merely referenced). Embedding allows adocument to be viewed as the author intended it even on machines thatdon't have that font installed. So, the document (a copyrighted work)would be derived from the font program (another work). The text ofthe document, of course, would be unrestricted when distributedwithout the font.
