Google Font API & The Google Font Directory

Posted: 19 May 2010 10:44 AM PDT

Google just announced a very functional font resource with an API which will help using custom fonts within web pages.

Google Font Directory

The repository of open source fonts that are hosted by Google and can be used in personal or commercial projects.

Once a font is clicked, there is a very detailed info provided including variants, the description of it and more.

Google Font API

It is the method for using the fonts included with the font directory.

The API is very easy to use: just insert a Google-hosted stylesheet and you are ready to go to use the fonts that work the same in almost every browser.

There is also a new JavaScript library named WebFont Loader which enables you to have more control over the fonts and/or use the TypeKit library.

jQuery Image Zoomer Plugin: Nivo Zoom

Posted: 18 May 2010 10:01 PM PDT

Nivo Zoom is a Lightbox-like but simpler image zooming jQuery plugin from the developers of the popular Nivo Slider.

The plugin is lightweight (4kb compressed), focused only on images and comes with a bunch of settings.

Nivo Zoom

It supports 5 different zoom types and can show image captions (long texts are handled well).

Nivo Zoom, by default, doesn't use overlays but can display the bigger image with an overlay where the opacity and colors of it can be customized.
