# Cambria is a smaller, more readable version of Georgia. Then again, all serif fonts look alike to me. # Calibri is like a slightly condensed version of Corbel and Candara. # Calibri, Candara, and Corbel are all too small compared to the current set of de facto Windows fonts (such as Georgia at 12pt compared with Calibri at 12pt) to make them impossible to use along with a current Windows font in a browser. For example, using Georgia and Calibri in your browser produces readable serif text but small, unreadable sans-serif text since both fonts must use the same font size.

Last month, I introduced Segoe UI, the new user interface font for Office 12 and Windows Vista.

If one aspect of design has suffered most in its transition to the Web, it is the art of typography. For years, Web typography involved little more than choosing a typeface and font size. Unstyled Times New Roman was the norm, and the integration of established typographical techniques and rules was unimagined.

The Typetester is an online application for comparison of the fonts for the screen. It's primary role is to make web designer's or web developer's life easier. As the new fonts are bundled into operating systems, the list of the common fonts will be updated.

FontExplorer X sets a new standard for font management software. After several relatively sad years for all font users who were looking for a professional font manager, Linotype is pleased to fill the gap with the new FontExplorer X.

FontExplorer X gives computer users all the font functions they could need, and lets them decide how deeply they wish to dive into various font themes.
