   *should be noted that my type experiments (with letter-spacing, word-spacing, and text-rendering) are for Webkit (ie. Chrome/Safari)

   Thanks, Dave. I'll keep adding more as time permits... they take a few hours+, mostly because of the writing, and rewriting to work in tandem with the effects of spacing and kerning specific letters.

   Yeah, I can imagine. I have done a few similar specimens just out of my own curiosity. What are you using to style the pages? I started using CSSEdit, which visually updates the page as you write the code. http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/ - You are probably already hip to that, but in case you're not... It has saved me so much time!

   Either way, I love what you're doing!

   I just code it by hand — they're all built pretty much the same way, so each time it's just a matter of tweaking size, margin, and spacing properties. I should setup a local server though, because right now I upload the files and refresh to see the Typekit fonts.

   Thanks, Stephen. I'll get an intern on it. I have one just for optical alignment.
