Text of Note

The implications of desktop publishing, where anybody who has access to a computer can set type, have led to a flood of poorly designed brochures, flyers and Web pages. In Web design especially illegible text, incorrect use of punctuation marks and inappropriate font combinations or use of line widths are frequent. The new techniques that Web fonts offer might bring about even worse examples of ugly and illegible Web typography. This resource is dedicated to Web workers who are dealing with typography in their daily lives, but have no special training for this independent craft. It gives the necessary background on macro- and microtypography, and helps in the choice of suitable fonts and modern techniques such as Web font embedding. It's a valuable read that will help the reader to create rich, sophisticated Web sites with beautiful and elegant Web typography. --
