> Why having webfonts at all? Every computer and mobile phone has tons of fonts already installed. Your fonts definitely doesn't look better. Please don't waste my bandwith with it.
Designers are really in love with using literally any font that's not a system font and will throw a fit if they can't do that. It's all because branding, or something.
As a user I hate that crap. Quit wasting my disk and bandwidth with your cutesy garbage and just use system fonts. As a developer I hate that crap, because it's one more thing to worry about.
But the designers/marketers have won this one—they're willing to fight really hard for their special snowflake fonts and have sold it to the people who make decisions as being vital for branding, which is Super Important™.
Add allowing custom, downloaded fonts to the list of things the web is worse for supporting.
