How many web developers can insult users with a single page? HTML was designed as simple markup while leaving the exact rendering to the browser. The number of spacer.gifs everywhere shows that web developers fail to grasp this concept. There is no practical way for controlling fonts on websites (other than the workarounds already posted). Personally I'm not sorry about it. There's far too much visual stuff and lack of content already. Reminds me of architecture somehow. More to do with ego message of the designer, less with the user. > There are a few problems with pdfs in this case, like > expanding/contracting menus, drag/drop, > Pdf's do not support a rich multimedia > environment that web users expect these days. As long as it moves or looks sexy everyone's happy. Never mind the content. Agreed re your comments on flash. Add fonts to the list. Why would web developers be able to handle them more responsibly (if there was choice) than flash?
