I had a look at the site just now. I don't (yet) run a server, so won't work for me.

Sounds interesting. However, I generally get the shimblenidders any time someone says "email me for pricing info".... Usually means I can't afford it.

lol - that's exactly what i thought too!

i couldn't find any reviews on it anywhere, maybe the technology is too new?

[edit_g]

Good idea - but if it is so good, why are they using plain old boring Arial on their own (also very plain) site? And in Moz and Opera you get the following message:

would you like to install a small (~70kb) plug-in that will let your browser show web fonts from this web server? Some pages will not show correctly without it. Learn more about GlyphGate and EOT fonts here .

Click on Install below to enable web fonts.

I don't think so...

[rant]Does anybody really want (or need) 10,000 14 year olds using gothic fonts on their sites? Can't they keep doing them all with images - at least that way they don't get indexed... I don't even think we should have given them livejournal... [/rant] :)
