: Leveraging a hosted web font service from a local development server? There are a number of popular web font services on the market today who "host" the fonts and serve them to your web page

There are a number of popular web font services on the market today who "host" the fonts and serve them to your web page via javascript or CSS pointing to remote locations. For example webfonts.fonts.com or typekit.com
However, there seems to be an issue when you're developing on a local testing server - the remote font services don't validate the font and return 403 access denied errors and the like.

What workarounds are there for using remote services such as a hosted font service, on a local development server?

TypeKit supports use on your own system just fine, but you have to explicitly set localhost or 127.0.0.1 in the allowed domains list; nothing is included by default.
I haven't used the fonts.com service, but imagine they have a similar requirement.
