Great, so we have to pay $25/year for crippled fonts. The CSS wizardry is impressive, but why not just use Cufón and any of the high-quality fonts that are specifically free for Web use (I'll dig up a link if you like)? Anyway, I suspect that licensing issues are more of a red herring that type foundries would like us to believe. At least in the US, font designs are not protected by copyright, although font software is. This effectively makes fonts uncopyrightable for many uses. Besides, something like Cufón should be just as legit as making a static GIF image of text for Web use. So Typekit just seems like a really nice solution in search of a problem.
