Internet & Networking "Type designers and Web designers have reached a consensus on a format specification for embedding fonts on the Web. Mozilla is already including support for the font format in Firefox 3.6, and wide adoption could come sooner than many expected."

This interesting but with MS support it's going to be a long uphill battle before this truly becomes wide spread. I might be wrong.


I read that Microsoft proposed this a while back but it never got off the ground. What I'd like to see is for Microsoft, Mozilla, Google, Apple and Opera to all come together and work on the web standards outside the bureaucratic nightmare that is W3C and start getting these HTML5 ideas out in the real world and being used instead of being stuck in draft form for years and years.
