Typeface.js uses the browsers inherent vector rendering capabilities to render typefaces in using VML. The script is still in its very early form, but something about this feels right, its feels typographic.
I think this JS application is going to have some serious legs for growth. We get around the whole notion of image based titles, or using flash to render titles in a particular typeface. This is going to keep things very open for spiders and accessibility, which has long term benefits greater flexibility and growth to change. (No more searching or recreating that lost title.psd in photoshop.)
Overall I think this iteration is a great start to what this could really do with vector rendering in browsers. Now if we can just convince Google to buy it and proliferate it, we might see some great lengths to proliferation of real typefaces on the web.
