Facing up to fonts

Richard Rutter of Clearleft has a nice presentation up on facing up to fonts that goes into nice detail on the world of typography and the Web.

First he takes some time discussing fonts and various choices out there. Did you know about the various numbered font weights out there? From 100 to 900. Well, on Firefox 3 and WebKit. And there is font-stretch which no one supports. Then we have the EOT versus Open/TrueType wars:

@font-face {
   font-family: "Fontin Sans";
   src: url("http://server1.com/FontinSansR.otf");
}

Richard is also a fan of the idea of Fonts as a Web Service where trusted third parties could license fonts. Sounds like there is a business there ;)

And of course, you have to watch the enthralling Helvetica The Film with your partner on Valentines Day.
