Description:

Designers are still complaining about the limitations of Web typography. Is their case valid, and will it be in the future? What myths are there about web typography and how do we dispel them? This panel will discuss overcoming constraints on web to create elegant, legible, and expressive typography.

This panel (if so chosen) will include the insights of

Elliot Jay Stocks http://elliotjaystocks.com/blog/
Jon Tan http://jontangerine.com/
Ian Coyle http://superhero.es/
and John Boardley http://ilovetypography.com/

Can't wait, this is a great line up, and a subject that clearly requires constant discussion (even at TypeCon, this was being treated almost like a new issue, when some of us have been figuring out creative ways to work within the technical constraints for 10 years or more).

Great topic for S×SWi 2009. ★★★★★!

the biggest challenge for for web desging is search engine compatibility

Awesome
