Alphard started providing cloud service “PowerCMS™ Cloud” from December 8th. Service users can use over 300 web fonts from the "FONTPLUS Enterprise Edition" provided by SBT.
Background of adoption of FONTPLUS
Until now, the fonts displayed when viewing a website could only be displayed if the fonts were installed on the PC or other device on which the website was being viewed. FONTPLUS is a service that allows users to display fonts specified by website creators in their browsers, even if the fonts are not installed on the user's device, and was launched in 2011.

It is compatible with not only PCs, but also devices such as smartphones and tablets, as well as major browsers for Windows and Mac, so you can use web fonts without worrying about the environment.

More than 300 fonts of the web fonts provided by FONTPLUS are available in PowerCMS Cloud.
