I think contentious comments like this and others show that people are losing sight of the goal. We're all here to find a way to make fonts work on the web in a way that satisfies the needs, not necessarily the wants, of all parties. If that turns out to be one format that is supported by all browsers and is easy for users to use, would that be the worst possible outcome? Please note that I, a type designer, am not endorsing a single format, two formats or anything at this point. This is an extremely complex and nuanced issue for those of us who make fonts. Polarizing statements are not helping us type designers feel any more comfortable with the risk we are being asked to take. Tal
