Looks like what would happen if gridlover.net & typetester.org had babies and it was awesome.

I've seen ads for this all over the web, but I've been too afraid to fork over the $29/per month to give it a whirl. Maybe it'd be worth trying out the free trial...

Looks beautiful, but $29/ mo is a lot.

You can always try using the web fonts over at http://www.google.com/webfonts/ if you haven't tried them already?

@Mike -

Web fonts refers to fonts not provided via a local font file but instead use @font-face.

Typecast supports fonts from several web font providers in addition to Google's Web Font's including Typekit, Fontdeck & Fonts.com.

You can use a font even if you don’t have an acc:ount with that service.

Google's Web Font's still give me a problem in Chrome on Windows. They just don't look right and there's many discussions online about this. That's why I stay away from them for now.
