[Member] May 24, 2013 Share May 24, 2013 Hey Guys, Anyone has the genuine webfont version to share of Futura? Just converting the otfs doesnt render great unfortunately. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member] May 24, 2013 Share May 24, 2013 May be googling with some expressions such as "futura.woff" would worth a shot. To get the real one, I guess you'd first have to identify a legitimate source and name (for instance FuturaLTW1G-Bd.woff) for the official web versions of Futura. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=futura.woff http://static.sustainablylush.ca/fonts/futura/ http://d1c4j9e82wzmkz.cloudfront.net/fonts/ http://www.saratogawire.com/media/css/fonts/futura/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member] May 24, 2013 Author Share May 24, 2013 Yes I already tried that myself and stumbled on those sites too, but like you said, theres no way of knowing those are originals, so I wanted to try my luck here.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member] May 24, 2013 Share May 24, 2013 what weights of Linotype Futura do you want? I can rip the webfonts from fonts.com if you want (original .woff and .ttf) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member] May 24, 2013 Author Share May 24, 2013 That would be awesome parv! Light, Book, medium and bold will suffice, no italics needed either :) thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Member] May 27, 2013 Share May 27, 2013 Now you have an "official" (ripped ;) version, I'm really interested to have some feedback on this version and how actually it renders. Is it really better than the others? Will move this starting discussion into the according section afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really better than the others? Will move this starting discussion into the according section afterwards. Sadly it still renders a bit of jagged edges, especially on smaller sizes :( Is that because it still is a ripped version? I've seen some sites use webfonts that really render perfect, even at small sizes, so there must be a difference with the true originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Member] July 7, 2013 Share July 7, 2013 The Linotype version of Futura is one of the worst ever, be it on screen or for printing (terribad kerning, lots of overshoot, poor hinting). Maybe try with the ones by ParaType, Bitstream, URW++... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Member] July 8, 2013 Share July 8, 2013 To me, main difficulty is to use fonts which have not been designed for screen purpose and Futura is one them. Most of them simply not render nicely, even playing with font size/size unit (or you're a lucky guy ;). There are also many factors to consider: - browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE 7, 8, 9...) render fonts differently - OS: Windows (7, 8...), iOS, Ubuntu - platforms and devices: tablets, mobiles (iPhone, Blackberry, Google Phone, Windows Phone...) - modern webdesign requirements (responsive and adaptive design) can be hardly reached using non WF versions - print ≠ screen - readibility - accessibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
