Re: Default font for the web site

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Simon,

There are a lot of people who strongly dislike Garamond, I know from experience 
with typesetting. [This goes to the point of my previous email.] And a modified 
Garamond is/was the Apple corporate font since 1984, so the whole family looks 
terribly tired and overused.

I am probably making myself unpopular here, but I say leave it alone.

If not to be, then you may want to have a look at the Linxu Libertine fonts, a 
nice open source project with sound typographic design.

But how are you going to serve the web fonts with low latency? What are you 
proposing?

Andrew

[And if you really have to do this I have a lot of experience coding webfont 
techniques for websites, so I am happy to help and contribute.]
