Font Family:
There are also fonts to consider. We could continue using the fonts we
have been using, because they are very widely deployed; or we could use webfonts, which
will render on most modern browsers at this point. Webfonts have to be fonts that are
licensed in a way that allows them to be deployed as webfonts, which most traditional
font licenses do not allow; but
Google's collection of webfonts has grown quite
significantly, so we have way more options available to us now, than even a couple of
years ago. (Embedded webfonts only began to be available about ten years ago, and it
took them a while to catch on, both in terms of font availability, and browser support.)
Here are a few options that I picked out as being reasonably legible and of decent
overall quality. (Some of the ones further down on this list are only suitable at
large sizes, e.g., for headlines.)
