i wonder if there are any condensed sources of information regarding the application of fonts -

once i read a post from someone who was font wise and wrote things like "if you want to impress american college educated people, use ----, for british people, use ----"

it's obvious to me that there are a class of fonts that are used in media and then there are a class of fonts that are given to end users online. eg. at the google link above (thanks!) half of those fonts are available for free under several different names.

i do believe diversity and non-standardisation is good, but while corporations are using standardisation to influence ideas, i want to have access to those semantics (admittedly for the point of whittling away at consumer obeisance..)

(i'm also amused by the way that masonic, evil google corp chooses to use the longer "grumpy wizards" preview instead of the more concise and decidedly more pleasant quick brown fox.. maybe it's the white/brown thing...)
