I think there are some things that could be done that would help everyone. One that comes to mind is simply encouraging sub-setting a font when it's embedded on the web. I have been told that sub-setting is disallowed by some (many?) font licenses. It clearly has the dual benefit of making the font smaller (usually much smaller) and much much less useful outside its intended context. If I set a headline in a fancy font, a subset is likely to carry only a few glyphs (down from a few thousand). -- David Singer Multimedia Standards, Apple Inc.
