No.

It has nothing to do with technology, it is about user experience. Pushing a crappy font on me because you think it is pretty does two things. It makes you feel good about yourself, and makes it harder for me to read your site. This is the same narcissistic designer syndrome that gave use flash intros back in the day.
- Volpe 14y agoErm... I think you are just not a designer yourself and don't understand the difference custom fonts can make to the 'readability' and overall feel of a website. Using custom fonts for headlines and then a 'helvetica' variant to mix in on copy only gets you so far. I'm not a designer, nor a narcissist, but I've seen body copy fonts used well.
