My ol' pal and font-supplier Chank is having a sale.
And he writes about HTML5, which everybody seems to be excited about:
Such a thrill to see the new HTML5 "@font-face" standard being adopted so smoothly. The new web standards and webfont delivery techniques are just now starting to really change the way the www works. Websites are embedding fonts in viewer's browsers, allowing them to see a broader selection of real fonts, displayed in the html of the web pages as selectable, scalable, searchable text. So smart and simple, once you learn how to do it, and so much more elegant than saving gif or jpg pictures of words for headlines and display type. That's kinda silly.

Outrageously off topic, but the Chank website service provider is Clockwork. Admirers of 1930s Americana will enjoy a tour round the converted vehicle service station that is now home to a stylish web design company.

The tour is recommended for after you have finished drooling over all those typefaces.
