Fonts are coming to the Web. Yes, we already have fonts but now we can add any fonts (technically, at least, not all fonts are available) to web pages. I have mixed feelings about this. Sure it is nice to have just the right font, usually for headings, but this really complicates design. Why, you might even have to be a designer! The limited number of fonts made life easy for us developer types. One less thing to worry about. I thought I was really doing it when I started using san-serif for body text with a bigger line-height. Oh boy, look how pretty that is!
Anyway,
TypeKit.com provides a way to license fonts for web use. They also provide all the tools to start using them today. Worst of all, they have a free acount that you can use to give it a try. This does not seem to be time limited, only limited in bandwidth and the number of fonts you can access and use.
It is now on my list of things to try someday. If you have tried it, let me know what you think.
