There will be another panel discussion about web fonts, this time at the 2009 ATypI conference, Mexico City on 26-30 October.

Type design legend John Berry will chair the panel about font embedding: “It’s all about getting new fonts onto a web page, so the content doesn’t all end up in default Times or Arial. After a wide-ranging but inconclusive panel on web fonts at TypeCon in July, this time around some of the browser makers will be represented — and the focus will widen to include *how* fonts are used on the web. ”

You can listen to the TypeCon panel here. Its provides a good overview of the debate so far.
