This is a very unusual system not seen in any other country in the world. Each of the kanji characters, forming the core of the Japanese writing system, usually serves also as a word. Elements of Japanese culture have been embedded in these kanji characters through their forms and images. In addition,most kanji characters have two or more pronunciations and a variety of meanings.

Web fonts are optimized for use on the web and will work only in web browsers.

It’s hard to believe that it has only been three months since we launched Typekit — so much has happened in the webfont world in such a short time. We’ve been inspired recently by beautiful redesigns, increasingly sophisticated browser support, and many more foundries choosing to embrace @font-face.

Typekit Makes Sites Pretty. That should be enough, but there’s so much more! In this episode, Ryan Carver and Greg Veen join us from Small Batch Inc., the makers of Typekit. Typekit aims to solve all of the problems that currently prevent web designers from using commercial typefaces in their designs. Every major desktop browser will support linking to custom fonts from within your site’s CSS using @font-face. You can then use these fonts on your web site without users having to install the fonts on their system beforehand. => This really is going to change web design

A Shared Encyclopedia of Typefaces Typedia is a resource to classify, categorize, and connect typefaces.
