• New Web Fonts Proposal: ?Ascender, in consultation with various stakeholders, has formulated a solution that addresses the browser makers concerns around IP, DRM and simplicity, and also the concerns of type designers. We propose a new web font format to replace both raw fonts and EOT. The benefit of a new web-specific font format is to ensure that all fonts, both free fonts and commercial fonts, can be used on web sites.?

This kind of inconsistency is just one of the challenges facing clean slate proposals like Ascender' s OTW. Typekit knows that neither web nor type designers will wait for a clean slate before doing business and using real fonts.
