Another thing I would love is if Photoshop used the same text rendering engine as modern browsers, like Safari, so we could get sub-pixel antialiasing. #moredreaming
I'm by no means a coder, but I'd say the main issue is what kind of font files would be needed to display the type in PS. If there was a way to use webfonts, then I don't see why licensing would be a problem. I'm way over my head here, so I'll shut up.
Now who's going to officially contact Typekit and ask? :-)
@Paul, you're probably right, I'm not a Photoshop extension coding expert neither a font licensing one. In fact I was just dreamin' of such a tool :)
@Erica, concerning the sub-pixel rendering issue on Photoshop, there are some script that could help, may be you already know ?
ex : Thomas Maier script
@Dan I've send a little Tweet to Typekit (who knows !) but I won't be surprised to have any answer :)

Wow, thought this was for real when I saw the shot in my following list!
Thanks for ruining my morning... :-|
This kind of feature might very well make the difference between services like Typekit, Fontdeck, Webtype, etc.

Don't think this will see the light of day. I'm imagining all sorts of licensing issues, even if we do have a Typekit account.
@Erica: would like that but doubt it. Adobe would rather introduce new bling features rather than improving/fixing older ones.
