Now. One thing to keep in mind before everyone cringes hearing <i>Adobe</i>.<p>Adobe has always been a <i>very</i> web friendly foundry. They permit things like Cufon use under their <i>standard</i> EULA that covers hundreds if not thousands of fonts. Few years ago, when asking a foundry for a web license would typically produce "La-la-la-la. Can't hear you. Web doesn't exist.", it was unbelievably liberal. It wasn't a fluke either, it was an intentional decision driven from the inside by those from the font group.<p>In other words, if there <i>is</i> a larger company that I would like to see acquire Typekit, that would be Adobe. They may have screwed few things here and there, but they totally get the webfonts.
More innovation dying before it gets the chance to thrive. I thought Typekit needed a few more years on its own to become prolific, and though I don't fault them for selling, I think this blows.
If this gets adobe fonts into typekit's library, that would be great.<p>I just really don't want the pricing to change, even if it means no adobe fonts.
I, for one, am shocked that I didn't see this one coming. Adobe has a great suite of fonts, and with HTML5 and the open web killing flash they'll need some new thinks to keep in the market.
