W3C is working for new standards for typography on the CSS 3, we have an opportunity to give our feedback and help them improve the Web.

I really admire the person like Jason Cranford Teague who provides an equal opportunity to rest of the web world. Jason is working on CSS 3 font modules for CSS fonts and CSS web fonts. Jason says -

As an advocate for parts of the overall CSS 3 specifications, I invite you to let me know if you think there are any problems you have with the current specifications or there can be some new additions to the Fonts specification.

A web guy like me who spends more than half of his time working CSS 3 would surely be interested in his recent article Web Typography: Tell Me What You Want. He is expecting and looking forward to seeing what the web design community comes up with. So lets be a volunteer, you never know it may help rest of the world one day. Leave your comments on his blog to express your idea or you can post your comment here also.

Below is what I commented -

Hi Jason, thanks for providing an equal opportunity to rest of the web guys. Myself, instead of commenting to add/edit something on existing fonts specification like font-effect and font-smooth I would rather prefer to show my interest that you guys also try do something so that we can see the existing CSS font features rendering well in all the browsers.

I certainly agree these features are enough to make a web designer’s life much easier. And I believe he will be more comfortable and imaginative to think about the future specification when he is able to use the current specifications in his regular routine without being bounded with browser limitations. I hope you won’t find my comment irrelevant.

    Hey Raj what you had commented is fully in favored by me as well, though I can’t see your comment there, may be because Jason don’t want to just into this discussion for now! Nevertheless even I can’t think of something new till the existing things doesn’t work properly due to poor browser limitations.

    I do agree to the point but i guess that he may not be the right person to do something with as far as his role is concerned. Still, it’s always better to let people know what you think.
