A common issue with using downloadable fonts is that they may be much _narrower_ (horizontally, height has nothing to do with this) than default OS fonts, and this difference in character width may break page layout (e.g. if a horizontal menu uses {display: table} and close-packed arrangement of words in conjunction with a narrow downloadable nonstandard font). What would probably be a real solution is to have in CSS something like Font Loading API in JS: http://www.w3.org/TR/css-font-loading/Received on Thursday, 22 January 2015 19:40:35 UTC
