Quoting Henri Sivonen <hsivonen@iki.fi>: > If a person wants to read Georgian and runs Mac OS X, why > wouldn't (s)he install a suitable font instead of relying on Web sites > to provide fonts via @font-face? Because this person is a tourist in a cybercafe in London, wants to check on the news back home, and has neither permissions nor knowledge to install fonts on that machine. Because this person is a student in a university computer lab doing research on Gergian literature and has neither permissions nor knowledge to install fonts on that machine. In short, because people move around, don't always use the same computer, and often use computers they have no control over. -Boris
