A lot of students attempt IIT twice more if they dont get in the first time (or not get one of the choice electives). The ordeal does not end with IIT Entrance, but is even more stressful after getting in – as they compete with the best bunch of students and even though they may be better than the top rankers in other institutions, they would be at the bottom of the pool within their peer group in IIT.
yep. But for a 2MB font file that still comes to about 1MB which is quite hefty a load for one page. The main problem is Safari blocks the text from rendering until the font loads, which I think is not good for usability.
I have mentioned in my article where you can get free legal and small size @font-face friendly fonts from. Though it is quite hard to find a small-sized font for languages other than english.
Safari 4, Opera 10, Firefox 3.5 are all stable releases and they all support @font-face.
The only issue is how to support fonts from languages other languages as the font file size will be really big. And this is where the debate on fonts come in.
Using HTML 5 now would only mean using wellformed documents and dropping "deprecated" attributes and elements from your HTML document (e.g. not using font, cellspacing, etc attributes). You don't have to use the new elements introduced (since IE pretends such elements don't exist).
