It's nice to see someone who embraces all the technologies out there. Mac, Win, Linx, etc. Like you, I also love fonts. But I have to set something straight. You're pronunciation of "Leading" is incorrect. You say "Leeding" (with a long "e") and it's really pronounced "Leading", as in the metal. The reason is in the old days with metal type, we used thin pieces of lead to increase vertical space between lines. I've been a typography since the late 70's. No big deal but I thought I'd let you know. I hope you take this as a friendly suggestion. Keep up the great work on your site. I visit it often. KO Hey Chris,
