Web Fonts are the future!
More and more browsers are gaining web font support, giving the web the rich text experience of traditional print. Why should you be excited?
Accessible
No more using images or fancy scripting to create that pixel-perfect header. Your text is just text, so it can be read by screen readers and indexed by search engines, while still looking gorgeous. And since it's just text, it will resize gracefully (and automatically).
Easy
The latest services make adding web fonts a snap. Just add a line or two of Javascript or place an @import statement in your CSS, and you're ready to go. The number of providers is growing rapidly as more companies get involved.
Pretty
You're no longer constrained to using a few standard fonts like Verdana, Arial, or Georgia. Find the fonts that fit your layout, your personality and your style.
Tell me more!
There's a lot of information available on the 'net about Web Fonts. A List Apart has a series of typography articles that explore just how to utilize this rich new world. You can test drive some web fonts with the Web Font Specimen. And once you're ready to start, you can use services like the Google Web Font API or TypeKit, or host your own fonts via services like FontSquirrel.
