Hi Vladimir, > 2) all fonts on the web will "cross the wire" MTX-compressed.

So you're proposing the obfuscated format be MTX-compressed fonts? Doesn't this leave out Postscript CFF OpenType fonts, fonts with an .otf extension, since MTX only compresses fonts with TrueType-style glyphs, files with .ttf extensions? Many vendors, including Adobe, primarily ship .otf fonts. This seems insufficient to cover those fonts. Are you proposing that @font-face rules can't link against raw TT/OT files? Or that web authors would choose raw TT/OT or MTX-compressed TT based on the font license? Regards, John Daggett Mozilla Japan
