FONTUE - THE OPEN SOURCE WEB FONT SERVER
##############################################################
#
Fontue is a Rack-based, open-source,
web font server built for Kernest.com
#
For the latest version of this code visit:
http://github.com/garrickvanburen/fontue
#
For more information about Rack:
http://rack.rubyforge.org/
#
Fontue's goals:
#
- Keep @font-face declarations clean, readable, and cross-browswer compatible.
#
- Serve the appropriate font format (otf/ttf, eot, svg, or woff) to browsers supporting @font-face.
#
- Save bandwidth by effectively setting cache headers.
#
- Save bandwidth by not sending fonts to user agents that don't
support @font-face.
#
- Save bandwidth by not sending fonts to requests that shouldn't
receive the font (domain checking).
#
- Serve fonts really fast.

#
TO INSTALL AND RUN FONTUE
#
1. Create a directory on your server for your web fonts. And update the font_server_directory variable in line 93. Default is '/fonts'.
#
2. Upload your web fonts into a directory to your server - say '/fonts'
- Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera like .otf & .ttf fonts
- Mobile Safari and early versions of Chrome prefer .svg fonts
- Later versions of Firefox also like .woff fonts
#
3. Upload fontue.ru to your server
Depending on the server you're using, you may also need a config.yml file.
#
4. Configure your Rack-compliant web server (i.e. Thin, Ebb, Lighttpd, etc) and Run: rackup fontue.ru
Fontue can also be easily adapted for use as an endpoint within Ruby on Rails' Metal.
#
5. Fontue will now be accepting requests on your server at: /font (change this in line 189)
