Web Typography

In comparison to the past, the present and the future of web typography has gained many excellent advantages and options the past simply lacked. In the older times, we had to stick to a very simple font. Now, we can use a multitude of fonts, and we can also alter their position, space, contrast, size, and hierarchy. Internet Explorer uses embedded type to where a viewer can view the web page designed by the designer and view his font, but they won't be able to download and steal the designer's font. Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome use a font-face property that lets the web designer use whatever fonts he has on his system, and if the viewer has the same font it will be displayed in that font. If the font is not on the viewers computer, it will try each subsequent font specified by the web designer, and if none of the fonts are available it will use simply the default font. The future of web typography has a big climax coming soon, in my opinion. Now, we are having to specify fonts, code them, make sure our viewers have the fonts, and so on and so forth. One day somebody, hopefully me, will get rich off of making everything far simpler. Maybe a law passing that every browser has to interpret information equally. Then, they can create a program similar to Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, to where you basically create your web page, in a specified window size, and then convert your graphic to a web page in the click of a button. Why we haven't created a solution to this problem still boggles me, and will boggle me until my brain stops working, or they develop the simple software to do such a thing. We have gaming systems in our cars and toasters that hold eight pieces of bread, but no attempt at a software program to simplify web design more into graphic design. Think about that one for a bit...
