The Google Font API and HTML Email |
|
05.24.2010 Google, in conjunction with Typekit, just released a new Font API that allows designers to easily import non-standard OS fonts into their web pages. The API uses the CSS @font-face rule but relies on their CDN to provide the data bandwidth, which is probably much faster than yours. After hearing about this we wanted to investigate and find out the email client support for such an API.

People are Talking about our Email Testing Tool!
And so far the response has been great!
We are thrilled to announce that the Email on Acid buzz has begun! In the past week, we have found 7 published articles in various websites detailing current issues regarding the lack of HTML email standards, the challenges of testing, our solution, and a list of the features we offer.
We would like extend our sincere gratitude to those of you who have taken the time to publish us! Here is a list of blog posts we have found so far:
- Ghacks.net: Email Marketing Software Email on Acid
- Efinditnow: Email Marketing Software Email on Acid
- Instant Fundas: Email on Acid: Newsletter Testing and Simulation on Virtual Email Clients
- 1Theme: Email Marketing Software Email on Acid
- Email Marketing Insider: Email Marketing Software On Acid
We’ve also been published in a few French websites! We are very pleased to see that our acid test and the challenges that it helps to resolve can transcend language. Here are the English translated versions of those articles:
- La Ferme du Web: Email Acid - Testing the integration of emails on different mail clients
- Oxynel, Blog Communication: Top 8: Solutions you need to know!
This much appreciated press goes to show just how tedious it has been for email marketing firms and developers alike to ensure the quality and deliverability of a professional email marketing campaign for their customers. In fact, several professionals have admitted that they don’t currently test their email in each of the most popular email clients due to the challenges involved.
We genuinely hope that our product can continue to offer a much simpler approach to testing, resolving issues, and having the peace of mind that your email will render correctly no matter what your readers are viewing it in.
At this time, we would like to re-iterate that we are still thoroughly testing the beta version of our email test. We hope to go live with our first official product release by October 2009. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to point out discrepancies between our test results and actual email client displays as it will only help us to further refine our product for the future.
