Fonts, Typefaces, Etc.
Traditionally, the fonts used on a website were rendered by the browser using fonts resident upon the browser's computer. The website builder could attempt to specify a particular font but if that font was not available then a substitution would be made. There were a few techniques that could be used to render some content, particularly things like headers, in a special font using various forms of image substitution. Those techniques added complexity and could not be used for all circumstances, e.g., in body text.
CSS3 provides a new way to specify the fonts used to render text. This allows websites to either provide their own fonts, or, more significantly, reference external font libraries (e.g., hosted by Google) and control the fonts used by all CSS3 compliant browsers. All of the current versions of popular browsers, even recent versions of Internet Explorer (Version 9, and later), support this facility. We've begun to use this facility on some of our newly developed websites, including this one.
Almost everyone hates spam (the electronic type anyway); the only exceptions being the spammers themselves and maybe the companies profiting from and/or protecting against it. Some spam fighting technologies are so effective that we may take them for granted and forget that they're actually working day in and day out protecting us from the spammers. In particular, Google's spam fighting for Google hosted email is particularly effective and easy to overlook.
