    I don't know if a service with a monthly fee is the right approach for this. OK great, I use typekit on my site, what happens a few months later when they decide to raise their rates? Or if their service goes offline? They will have you by the balls at that point...

    Why not focus instead on better encrypting for fonts that can then be used on an individual user basis rather than requiring a call to a centralized server somewhere?

    • The alternative to a subscription model is WOFF, which foundries support. What we're waiting for is browsers other than Firefox to support it.Typographica
