Overview of Typography for the Web

Many web designers find that controlling type for the websites can be very frustrating. With the use of CSS style sheets in a web site you’d think that there would not be a problem, but because of the many different browsers out there that people use today don’t always read the style sheets correctly. Or sometimes a browser won’t be even able to read a part the style sheet you worked so hard to make and will put in the default user settings which ruins your whole layout of your text. This can be a very annoying feeling to have when you have worked long hours on the design of this web site.
