Support multiple weights and styles in one family
Is it possible to use the fonts without changing all existing instances of "font-weight: bold;" to "font-family: Avant Garde Gothic ITCW02Dm;" ? It looks like the missing font-weight and font-style in the @font-face means there's no way to refer to an entire font family. I see http://blog.fonts.com/2010/09/23/getting-web-fonts-to-look-fantastic-on-iphone-and-ipad-devices/ but surely there's some iOS workaround that doesn't require rewriting all our CSS and HTML. This seems super broken to me, I should be able to do p { font-family: "Avant Garde"; } and then automatically get bold, italic, and bold italic properly handled... am I missing some nice way to do this,… more

Provide a tool for Subsetting
With a tool like www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator we could usually sigificantly reduce Font-Filesizes and improve Speed.
If f.e. only versals are needed, we could reduce filesize to less than a quarter of the Latin1-Size!17 votes -

Javascript callback when font rendering is complete
To divide space evenly between menu items in a menu, I need to measure it's width. But the width changes before and after the @font-face has been applied. It would be useful to have callback functions or events which Javascript developers can use to hook behavior.

Have more pricing options
Some of us might just want to use a few fonts on one website. You should a consider using a price per font system.

Add Khmer Font
I've look into it and found no Khmer (Cambodia) language supported. There are lots of demands in our country, so it will get popular among us shortly.

Provide more information about FontsLive migration
I can't find any information on your website about the migration from FontsLive to Fonts.com Web Fonts except for a single blog entry. The blog entry & the email I received left me with a lot of questions that I'm sure others must have. It would be useful to have some information in the Help section.

reveal which pricing plans each font is available under before login.
I couldn't figure it out just browsing the fonts, so I signed up, only to discover that the font I want to use is only available in the paid plans. So I gave out my personal information for nothing, and now I can't find a way to remove it and delete my account. If I'm just overlooking these important details, I apologize, but otherwise, this has not been a good exercise in brand trust.

To sell your fonts
Why can I just buy a license for the font, and use it on a site? Your system is incredibly complex to use, when using font-face is very easy. The way I need to assign weights is insane, I need an expensive license to test locally for just a small blog. Isn't your service a DRM "has been" system that can't live with his time?

Have Asian Fonts works on UTF-8
I found that your Simplified Chinese Fonts only got GB2312 or HKSCS character set. Which means I can't use these fonts under a CJK (Chinese Japanese Korean) mixed UTF-8 situation. I hope there will be some UTF-8 fonts

Add the ability to change the colour of the font and background colour
Fonts appear differently depending on the contrast between the background and foreground colours. It's important when choosing a font that the designer can understand how the font looks when on a dark background.

Provide AAT-enabled fonts for Mac OS X clients
For "complex" scripts (Arabic, Devanagari, others in the future...) it would be good to deliver fonts with AAT tables to browsers on OS X. Currently, the Devanagari fonts do not render correctly in Safari, and some of the Arabic fonts also fail in the Results list even though they render OK when looking at individual samples. Similarly, Firefox 3.6 fails to use these fonts because of the lack of AAT support.

Improve Simplified Chinese fonts
Majority of Simplified Chinese fonts seems experiencing major loss of characters. I suspect that you might have mistakenly replaced traditional Chinese fonts for Simplified ones, as those that are lost are those that are different from Traditional characters.

Embed all font files base64 encoded text into JS file
Removing the number of requests would further speed up the page display and reduce flickering (font change while rendering)
