> Jon Hicks site, while beautiful, is not the best example.
It would be much improved if he dropped the trendy downloadable fonts. They look like some low-res, pre-antialiasing, random-pixel-esque monsters from the Windows 3 days in every browser here: a very different monster in each case, but all just as nasty. I find it rather telling that for all the hype about the legal font embedding services a few months ago, just about the only people who are actually using them seem to be web designers on their own sites, and most of those sites are obviously worse-looking now than before. Meanwhile, getting back to the topic at hand, I get 1GB of download capacity in my mobile phone plan and then things get expensive, so I do not appreciate sites that trigger large additional downloads without actually making the site any better!
