Issues of Typography

The issues with type on the web is that not all computers carry the same fonts, and that not all operating systems read code the same way. For instance when you put your type size in pts. it is read differently on different operating systems. The only way to get your type size to read the same is to put it in pixels because that is the measurement all webpages use. But now with the use of links you can access fonts on the internet and embed them into your code so the fonts will always appear on the site because they are linked in.
