In addition, pages using a particular font will be able to temporarily download that font with the page so it can be viewed with the exact font the designer desired. Because the fonts are either those shipping with Navigator or downloaded to it, this eliminates the limitation of the Font Face tag, which can display a font only if it finds it on the user's system." The only worrisome thing is the wording regarding the Font Face tag. I hope the downloaded font urls will be declared in the document head so that such fonts can be used transparently by both stylesheets and inline font tags. If this is going to require some ridiculous new tag or tag attribute then better to not do it at all. David Perrell
