[OpenFontLibrary] Setting up self hosting

[vernon adams]

I’m not sure Quinn is after what you think he is :)

Quinn… do you mean you want to serve fonts like the example i am serving from http://newtypography.net/testing/ ?

A.k.a you want your fonts to be served to remote web pages by simply adding a 'link href’ line to the head of the source html document and then using the ‘font-family’ to set text ? You (or anyone else using your webfont) would not have to write those lines and lines of  @font-face rules in css documents?
A.k.a users can’t simply browse the css source and see that ‘myfont.ttf’ is residing at ‘http://myweb.com/fonts/myfont.ttf'
Of course, even if you use a ‘server’, people can still download the fonts, e.g. by using Chrome's ‘Developer Tools -> Elements’ and grabbing the woff files of any fonts embedded in the page.
