Font Linking with @font-face
The text above should be rendered in Judson, thanks to web font linking with @font-face. If you see a monospace font, your web browser probably does not yet support this new web technology. If you do see the font you expect, to the right is the CSS code that loads it - feel free to copy and paste this code into your CSS stylesheets. We have plenty of bandwidth, and you are free to download the files and host them yourself. Learn more…

Description
Judson is a serif font designed for African literacy. It contains as many glyphs and precomposed combinations that I know of for all African languages written in Latin-derived alphabets. It uses OpenType tables for correct placement of diacritical marks, including stacked marks. Care has been taken so that all characters are easily distinguished, even in the italic face.
Currently Judson is only available in roman, italic and bold faces; at this time there is no bold italic.
Judson is not suitable for setting Icelandic or Old/Middle English texts, because the uppercase Eth (U+00D0) takes a unique African form.
