Based on your above comments, I get the feeling that you don't find
typography important at all. But typography is at least as important as
any other design decision, and most people do care about design.
If you create a web site for some company, you want to design it so it
looks professional and is easy to use. If I write a scientific paper, I
want it to look professional and be easy to read. And although you may
not have a conscious opinion about typography, your eyes and brain
certainly do. Try reading 20 or 30 pages worth of heavy material,
perhaps interspersed with a bunch of mathematical formulas here and
there, as rendered by a web browser. I guarantee you, your eyes and
brain will be a lot more exhausted than they would have been if the
document were professionally typeset.
I wish the designers of web sites and browsers would pay more attention
to typesetting issues and spend less time on bloating the web with Flash
animations and JavaScript misfeatures.
I do agree. I also wish -- something much easier to do -- they would care for
our nerval systems & stop saturating them with non-information (white backgrounds).
