So here’s the situation: Every major browser is about to support the ability to link to a font. That means you can write a bit of CSS, include a URL to a font file, and have your page display with the typography you expect. For designers and developers, this is a significant step forward. No longer will you need to trap your content in images or Flash just to express yourself visually. Pages will be more usable, accessible, and indexable. This is a massive upgrade for the web.

The only thing that bothers me is the definition of “major browser”, but I know several of my clients will be happy to see this news once it becomes available!

However, I will still steer my client’s clear of using Old English Gothic text for their post texts!
