Adobe really needs to drop the corporate marketer talk.

"Adobe Edge Tools & Services: New tools and services for a beautiful, modern web."

"Edge Web Fonts is conveniently built into Edge Code today and will be available in Edge Reflow and other Edge Tools & Services soon."

I'm reading all this and I still have no idea what Edge is or why I should care.

A much more informative link for the HN audience is this: http://www.edgefonts.com/

They want to appeal to bosses who will tell the developers to use it..

Yes. Managers, not developers, are Adobe's customers.

It is rather infuriating if you are stuck under that relationship.

I'm not a boss but I showed my developer could workers and he couldn't figure it out.

What?

should have read "co-worker" thanks auto correct.

Wow that's more zealous auto-correct than Digg fixed-that-for-you kids.

No problem, I would have suggested a helpful correction but I was completely lost. On that note, I just though how funny it would be if autocorrect just had a WTF? when it was completely lost.

From that page:

-- Edge Web Fonts gives you access to a vast web font library made possible by contributions from Adobe, Google, and designers around the world. The fonts are served by Typekit, so you can be sure of high performance and stability. Plus, it’s free! --

Neither do the people who wrote it, I can assure you :)
