A novel solution that should finally allow cross-platform fonts - the most interesting development for me since css! I wish Typekit well and will be testing it this evening. It will be even better when rivals and open-source solutions pop up as they surely will with time. Jed
Personally, I much preferred the old method of embedding fonts in the web documents on my own (the old application 'Typograph' made it relatively easy), but that method met a strong resistance from type foundries fearing a loss of revenues. That's why they came up with the service you have to pay for every time you want to use non-standard fonts in web documents you create - even if you have already paid for those fonts.
Just "business-as-usual" - every time you turn around, you get the shaft from corporate world...
typekit looks great
