[OpenFontLibrary] typekit - possible solution for foundries for fonts on the web?

Interesting.

I wonder what foundries make up their metacatalgoue.

 They've just said this:

"I just wanted to clarify some of the confusion over the mention of
JavaScript in the post. Typekit isn’t using any sort of image replacement
for rendering fonts on web pages. We’re using the CSS @font-face declaration
to link to Truetype and OpenType files. We’re using JavaScript to simplify
that process and account for various browser versions (like automatically
swapping in EOT for Internet Explorer)."

So what is the big deal? They are charging people for fonts they have
presumably licensed. If they are serving Truetype and OpenType files there
is no particular protection for the foundries.
