- 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.?
- When Free Fonts Aren't Free: Bryan Mason at Typekit slogs through font EULAs and is, "surprise d at how inconsistent they are." 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.
