The Web developer's choice of fonts should not in any way be affected by the technology we are developing - he should be free to choose any font (free, commercial, proprietary, etc.) that satisfies his needs. No way. If a Web developer insists on using fonts from Foundry X, but Foundry X won't allow Web use unless browsers implement TCPA-style down-to-the-metal DRM which also happens to be covered by royalty-licensed patents --- too bad for the Web developer and Foundry X. Are you saying that web developers can't use Monotype's hot metal type either? :-) We still have plenty of this stuff around, is anyone interested? On a serious note - I thought we all agreed to be reasonable.
