Slides

The panel, led by Roger Black, discusses what the emerging standard format for fonts on the Web means for designers and everybody who makes or uses fonts. The framework for Web fonts was created in 1995, but there has been little software for it. Only since about 2007 have the technology, the bandwidth, the supply of fonts, and the demand from designers come together.
