Hello, I can't find answer - are text in TTF fonts indexed by search engines? Or they will read some fallback font? How is it supposed to be?
probably just the plain text with no font info at all. What is your concern? that using a ttf font will reduce your spiderability?
Yes; I know very little about TTF fonts and I'm afraid some kind of those fonts were just like an image; not indexed as text; or may be I confuse them with Cufon fonts or something?
Open the page in your normal browser right click and view the source search for your text found it? yes - so will the search engines; no - more checks are needed
The spiders are blind. They cannot see fonts. They just store the strings for indexing. as long as the content is in the source and not generated from script, the crawl will produce the same result even if the font is very strange and the is a total lack of contrast; because it is reading source code on viewing the page.
@COBOLdinosaur has it right. Search engines don't have eyeballs, so they don't give a flying purple fish what font you use. The very question itself shows you probably aren't grasping what a website is, or how to build one... since it 's why things like semantic markup and progressive enhancement exist; so you can have a base structure that things like screen readers, search engines and other non-screen media targets can use, while still customizing that base for specific media targets and user-agent (aka browser) capabilities. Hence why things like drawing goofy pictures in paint programs like Photoshop and then having the giant pair of onions to call oneself a "designer" is a bunch of halwit bull...
