So, here's where I mark myself as a dinosaur: why are you trying to set a specific font for a web page? Clients select fonts for a reason.

- Raphmedia 10y agoBut that's not a web page, it's a web app! I want full control of it! ... I don't even know myself if I'm being sarcastic or not ...
- eps 10y agoBecause presentation matters a lot in a lot of cases.
- jmcdiesel 10y agoYour question is answered by another question. Why does more than one font exist?
- bandrami 10y agoBecause readers have different needs? Seems pretty obvious to me.
- zachsnow 10y agoHistorically "fonts" have been set by the author, not the reader. While I appreciate that this is no longer necessary, it seems reasonable that authors still want to choose it for reasons of presentation. Of course it's easy enough to write a use stylesheet, so readers that need a different view can get one.
