I got to go to this last week. A lot of good info on css3, not as much practical html5 as I would've liked... but glad I went. I wished I could have gone to day 1 but budgets prevail.

Interesting things about web fonts to try out. Anyone use:

Font Squirrel | Create Your Own @font-face Kits
Typekit

Chime in with reviews etc and maybe I'll make a new sticky.

The Font Squirrel app is very handy, it can make functioning .eot files out of some of the fonts that the open source ttf2eot converter folds on.

No reason to not embed fonts liberally now. Using a CSS type reset toolkit will help normalize web-friendly fonts, they may tweak some of the attributes of fonts in general so little things like the spacing around embedded fonts are consistent. If there was complete consistency, you could ditch creating graphics out of some things in your template such as your navigation bar where custom fonts are utilized.
