Some true facts that you might consider before passing that over-generalised statement: -There are a number of fonts designed specifically for screen reading. -Some of them happen to be preinstalled on our computers. -Not all default fonts installed on our computers are meant for screen reading. Not all web safe fonts are either. -A huge number of web fonts off late have been designed with screen in view. e.g FF Meta, FF Tisa Web Pro and so many others. -There is nothing wrong with using font-face for body text. Examples: Every article on trentwalton.com uses font-face (uses Typekit for webfonts) and works great in terms of readability. Please do not mix the poor aliasing on Windows with a problem with web fonts.
