Typography. It's such a beautiful art. Simple adjustments can drastically improve not only how we read text, but how we feel when reading text. Conveying emotions through text via the web has some serious limits. Only a small subset of fonts are going to work cross-platform. Here's the basics.
Arial / Helvetica
Courier New
Times New Roman
Of course it is possible to use other fonts, but those are the basics that are "guaranteed" to work.
Luckily, Google has done it once again. Using Google's font directory we can finally use a wider variety of fonts on the web. This is an awesome service that provides the web with open and royalty free fonts. Not only are these fonts free to use, but Google hosts this service for you. Embedding fonts is as simple as adding a few lines to your web page. Just check out this tutorial on Google's website.
We here at Foremost Media are really excited about this. We are always on the look out for cool new technologies to make your websites look and work great.
