@font-face support in major email clients?

Question

Do major web and desktop email clients support the font-face feature? It would be only logical to assume that they don't but thought I'd ask anyway. Has anybody tested?

Answer 1

font-face email support

Campaign monitor and type-kit have done some research on this topic and have found support to be very rare. Only iPhone and Apple Mail work at all.

This is unfortunate as, as of January 2010 all of the major browsers support font-face.

• Safari 3.1
• IE - all versions
• Firefox 3.6
• Chrome 4
• Opera 10
