MyFontsSM, the world's leading online provider of fonts and a division of Bitstream Inc. (NASDAQ: BITS), announced today that webfonts are now available for over 20,000 fonts from over 280 participating foundries. The release of webfonts marks the first time this range of fonts has been made available for use on websites.

Though the web has become an important publishing medium, fonts for the web have not kept pace with that growth. Traditionally, to achieve the look they wanted, website developers needed to use graphics rather than text for headlines. Although the appearance is acceptable with graphics, the absence of heading text makes it impossible for the pages to be scanned by search engine robots or to get web pages spoken through readers.

Webfonts from MyFonts solve that problem by letting website developers use real text in their sites. In addition, webfonts open up creative possibilities by giving website developers access to one of largest collections of fonts available anywhere.

Webfonts are packaged in self-contained kits for easy upload to any internal or external hosting service. Webfont kits include CSS styles that can be used immediately or tweaked as needed. Webfont kits can be downloaded as often as necessary at no extra charge. Download options allow webfont kits to be customized as needed and each download takes advantage of the latest improvements in webfont technology.

"Through a collaboration of browser developers, font foundries and website developers we have created the webfont product – an exciting font resource which beautifully meets the needs of all these stakeholders and opens up a wide range of fonts for use on websites," stated John Collins, Vice-President of Bitstream. "With the addition of webfonts, MyFonts will solidify its already strong position as the leading provider of the world's fonts from one easy-to-use website.?
