I'm not a designer so i don't really understand the importance of kerning, but I do run http://use.fontorie.com. So I'm interested in making it easier for developers to do design. I'd like to incorporate kerning if you'd help.
I didn't read the whole article but all I saw was anecdotal evidence that there isn't as much innovation. Maybe it's hard to measure innovation, but at least try instead of saying "from my viewpoint as a 50 year old white man we aren't innovating." And then try to come up with theories why there isn't innovation when you haven't even come close to proving that there isn't.
yeah possibly. maybe it's more a tool for startups who don't want to pay a designer to make a web logo quickly. as for kerning and web typography i think there might be a better future with http://endtwist.github.com/kerning.js/ and http://letteringjs.com/
The fonts are from Google Web Fonts API. Check out the examples for some awesome stuff that can be done with the site. Also add an example if you are visual talented. Finally, I'd like a lot of feedback on what needs to be done to make the webapp great.
