I get the value of web font support in LC10dp6 for WEB based
applications.
However, if you making a multi-platform application, you still have the
issue of UI consistency across platforms as web fonts can't be used in
desktop standalones (or, I assume, phone standalones)
It is true that web fonts are a 'browser' thing - however, you can still
download the underlying TTF files from the web font service and include
them in native standalones if you want to use the same fonts across web
and native apps (obviously, you need to check the license the fonts are
served under - but that's true with any non-system fonts you might
include at the moment).
In the future we could look at making font inclusion easier in
standalones cross-platform (i.e. allow specifying fonts in the s/b at a
higher-level and then it doing the right thing) - however, there are
some engine improvements to font selection across the different
platforms we need to do first (in particularly, 'fixing' the font
enumeration properties and allowing specification of different weights
and stretches via the textStyle properties!).
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
