>04 What the Font is WOFF?

> Web designers have generally relied on a small number of
>typefaces, such as Arial, Verdana and Times New Roman, when
>creating text on a Web page. These fonts are open for
>anyone's use, can be rendered by various browsers and
>therefore considered 'Web-Safe.' However, a large number of
>other typefaces available with desktop applications are not
>available for the Web because we lacked an interoperable
>format supported by different browsers as well as practical
>Webfont licensing options. That's going to change with WOFF..
