Streamline your web font requests: introducing “text=”
Blog post from Google Cloud
Google Web Fonts introduced a new feature called "text=" that allows developers to specify which characters they need when using a web font on their website or application, particularly useful for logos or headings where only certain letters are required. This feature, announced by Raph Levien at Google I/O, optimizes the font file size by serving only the necessary characters, reducing file sizes significantly, which improves loading times, especially on mobile devices with slower connections. The "text=" parameter works with international fonts without needing the "subset=" parameter and can handle Unicode characters through URL-encoding. This advancement aims to streamline web font requests, enhancing user experience by providing faster loading times and efficient font delivery.
