The author is 100% correct -- it's amazing to me that so many techies who should be detail oriented get this wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Font "In typography, a font (also fount) is traditionally defined as a quantity of sorts composing a complete character set of a single size and style of a particular typeface." Why is this important? Now that typefaces are embedded in the web we'll see the typography become more and more sophisticated. So it's important for techies to really learn the language of typography. Also since we're seeing amazing advances in screen resolution we can really start to show several weights of a typeface at a very small size. In fact my bet is that as we see resolution increase we'll start to embrace vastly improved typography. In the old days the cut of a typeface at 72 points was different than the same typeface at 12 points -- so the typeface wasn't just auto-scaling up and down in size by stretching it. My bet is that we'll see a real revolution in the next few years in this area.
