This article makes a strange contradiction. "people visit websites for information they’re interested in, not design and not the font in which text is rendered in" If that's the case, then what's the problem? You can use plenty of attractive fonts already installed on client devices, or something like Google Fonts for free. If the design isn't important, then that's more than enough.
