Ah, typography and the web - a sore subject, especially for we designers who have our roots in print design. Most of us are sick of Arial, Verdana, and Georgia, and long to use the perfect font to convey the message. Many creative techniques for using custom fonts have emerged over the years, but none of them have been a universal or permanent solution to the problem with web typography.
This article will take you through some of the history of how we've dealt with fonts in web pages. It will also explore how our options are starting to increase with the use of technologies such as @font-face, as well as new services such as Typekit.
