Tired of Talking About Web Fonts

And if you read the forums or follow any popular designers/developers (Zeldman, Cedarholm, Clarke, etc.,) they pretty much all agree = @font-face is gonna change the game. Once the CSS3 spec is broadly implemented, you can use whatever fonts you’d like in your webpage (provided they’re available, of course). And with Typekit, you don’t even have to wait - with the Trial library, you can embed fonts into your website for free. I tried it and wasn’t too impressed but that’s just me.

Sure, I see the appeal, but I’d rather use an extensive font stack than rely on a bit of JavaScript trickery. Granted, my website will never be known for its’ font selection, but that’s not my intention. Remember, it’s about the content, people. Fonts may deliver the content, but if you’ve got nothing worthwhile to say, it doesn’t matter how pretty the fonts are.
