Notes
- “In providing the Typekit service, we do not set or use cookies on websites in order to serve our fonts.” Source
- When custom fonts are removed, layouts dependent on the width of the characters can be broken, and characters that are not supported by the browser’s default font can be rendered incorrectly. (See examples of problems with icon fonts.)
