Christy Gurga (theMechanism) will present different perspectives on formatting type online and demonstrate methods you can use right away. While only basic CSS knowledge is required, Christy will cover advanced techniques that are applicable for front-end developers of any level.

You'll learn how to establish the CSS foundation for your type using relative font sizes and ems, implement text replacement practices for specially formatted headers and polish your typography with extra detail.

On the topic of this meetup, a provocative blog post that says to the font foundries who have essentially made it impossible to legally use their typefaces for the web: "fuck you, we don't need you" http://diveintomark.org/arc...

I think a follow-up with real-world experiences on SiFR and Cufon would be useful, in a few months?

I've tested out Sifr, Cufon, Typeface, @font-face, Flir and are really interested of what experience other ppl have about these different implementation methods.
