Hi All,
We are thinking about creating a plugin/API for the editor that will have web fonts in font dropdown menu, so users can edit with real fonts just like we select fonts in font dropdown menu in Word or other desktop editors. Something like: http://thewebfonts.com/editor/demoPageEnglish.html ; see the fonts which are web fonts using CSS @font-face using the web fonts from http://webfonts.fonts.com
My questions are:
1. Will people like it? how attractive is this feature?
2. What features you like to see, the editor plugin and/or API?
Thanks,
Steve

Whenever I had discussed that
Whenever I had discussed that lately with other webdesigners and devs, we have come to the point that this concept is to new to be useable. Even it is okay for early adopters to take care about that, the best practice I can see so far is to bring the fonts to the computers directly. So this is to install fonts locally instead, some packages like this one exist for that:
webfonts (description) and the actual webfonts.zip download
