In this talk I covered what you should consider, and avoid, when choosing fonts for your site. Note: There are captions below the slides when it is in slideshow mode. For expedience, I resisted the temptation to mess with the caption styling. **Also note: **This talk’s focus is on choosing fonts, not typesetting. There are some mis-uses of quotes and dashes here. Mostly due to bad habits developed as a result of their incompatibility with code.
