I think it would be great to have a link to Typekit. I agree with totally agree with John Jame Jacoby. I was and still am in the business and feel we were screaming out for this. We had computers 15 yrs ago when I was doing my btec but had to do any fonts by hand or print it of then transfer it. So laboriously slow.

How about putting up a page using your solution and showing how these fonts look on a real web page? It would be nice to be able to load the test page in several different browsers to test how it works cross platform.

In reply to Mary. It's a legitimate fear. But the benefits for designers outweigh my worries. Some will always make a mess of things, but we shouldn't let that hold back the state of the art.

Aww, shoot. I’m a big fan of your work and was hoping to ease my life a little by being able to use Kinescope as text. I had tried out Cufon with much success, but removed it because of the legal issues surrounding it (I was also secretly hoping Typekit would be able to support it).

I guess I’ll stick with images for now and hopefully find another similarly beautiful font for pullquotes and blockquotes.

In reply to Mary.

Pretty much what people said about desktop publishing in the ’80s. The Ransom Note effect.

Designers can create awful pages already. Take a look at some MySpace pages some time. At least if their ‘individuality’ is confined to a css file, it will be easy to over ride.

@Jim: “No Kinescope from Simonson?! That font is gorgeous, please add as soon as possible.”

I’d love to add it to TypeKit, but I’m reluctant because it relies heavily on OpenType layout features for it to set properly, which are not supported by any browsers yet.
