Re: We did it! WOFF 2.0 is a Rec!

Excellent news! As soon as it gets close to 5PM, like lunchtime, I'll be raising a glass to everyone who made this happen. 🍷

I am particularly pleased to see support for Font Collections, as they tend to be near and dear to my heart, especially the Mega and Ultra ones that I have built.

Today, W3C has approved and published the WOFF 2.0 spec as a W3C Recommendation, and they also issued a media advisory [1] that emphasizes how important web fonts are as a major Web typography tool.
