I suggest using ems.

Uh … and “Nobody needs Flash anymore”?

While I strongly prefer auto-hinting and don’t care about Flash, your post sounds a bit too much like Apple-speak, doesn’t it?

So “a dwindling population” basically means everyone running Windows?

And after (some) people update their Browser to IE9 (when it will be released … they got a load of complains about their new rendering (which just sucks, by the way)) except those who can’t update like people using WIndows XP?

Really. Get over it, not everyone uses or wants to use a Mac.

Thanks for explaining it so clearly for even non-designers to understand.

I honestly believe that articles such as this one are the reason why the Typekit team is making giant leaps in terms of changing the face of the web forever. You are demystifying and democratizing typography by bridging the gap between engineers, designers and type foundries—something ought impossible just few years back. Thank you for sharing this important knowledge.

I did not know about the Safari Windows complaints. (I’m Mac). It’s great to hear that rendering will improve. I do so love using web fonts and all the personality they can impart into a site.
