What the iPad is Missing: Good Typography (fontfeed.com)

I submitted this because I found it an interesting and informative article about a topic that many developers neglect: Typography.

I am trying to learn as much about it as possible to make up for since in the past: using default font faces in web applications where better options are available so that it looks better and is more accessible. As seen here, even Apple is guilty of transgressions at times.

With Typekit, the free Google Font Directory and excellent browser support, there is no excuse anymore to use standard and/or ugly fonts. There are a lot of good articles and resources linked to from this article so I hope someone finds it useful.
