The other values don't make sense for Web fonts. 'Editable' implies that the content of the website set using this font is editable by the user. This is certainly the case with much web text -- even posting comments to a blog would qualify --, and will probably become more common, so I'm inclined to agree that 0x0008 meakes sense as a default embedding bit for web fonts. However, the print and preview embedding level also makes sense in the context of served content that is not editable by the user, and this setting is pretty standard for non-web fonts from many foundries. If editable embedding is to be standard for web fonts, it will have to be explained to foundries why this is so. JH
