All that talk and not a single screenshot of what it looked like with the font change.
Did you see the article? Then you saw the font...
By default I shudder reading any article that suggests that a ustom font is a smart UI choice for web apps.
Almost without exception, custom font choices lead to broken designs, slow serving, and work against clean UI.
But this article fairly balances the joy of selecting a custom font, with the sheer litany of issues that come with proper integration: compatibility, hosting, licensing, sizing, etc.
