    Interesting exchange.  And frequently funny - 
    "Typical users vomit and faint when they see text set in Tahoma that was clearly meant for Helvetica".

    The system font versus webfont "debate" will be over soon.

    Not to toot my own horn, but this is still the best analysis of it anywhere:
