We are working on a typography feature for our themes. From what I have seen in the market place there is no truly user friendly way to do it so we are trying to 'break the mould' in a small sense.
typography feature with free fonts, or webfonts? installing the font within the theme is easier and maybe the safer way to go instead of modifying the code all the time
Is the slider meant to control the font size? If so, then can I suggest to also have a way to specify the size by just entering a number. Myfonts uses the slider and it is nearly damn impossible to set it to a specific desired size.
@Alex - There will definitely be a text field as well, the first thing I thought of was how difficult sliders can be however for the more lamen user the slider will work as they are not familiar with the particular sizes.
@Chris - Thanks man! We do want to have our own system though, even if there are some out there we will still develop this to integrate with our themes and work as intuitively as possible :)

Web fonts. There will be options on how to implement them. We will also seamlessly add new fonts to the list as we go along.

@David There are a few out there already, I'll see if I can dig up some links.

Yeah, I'm sure you'll continue on with what you're already building but I know it doesn't hurt to have some reference material.
