I love typography. And, I’m quite disappointed with limited availability of beautiful fonts in Windows. (I admit that they introduced many better-looking fonts such as Segoe UI, Calbir and Cambria starting from Vista and Office 2010.) But, I just prefer Mac fonts like Lucida Grande or Helvetica.
And, when it comes to web typography, things could get worse. Only a small limited set of fonts are cross-platform. Thus, people start to talk about webfonts. Google announced this new project called Google Font API. I hope it is helpful while choosing best typography for our projects. Currently, only a few fonts are available yet. But, I believe it will grow bigger.
