via fontsinuse.comfontsinuse.com is a new site by Sam Berlow, Stephen Coles, and Nick Sherma is an excellent resource for anybody who has an interest in typography. It shows real world examples and adds some explanation and in-depth critique. I would not take the critics‘ part as impeccable, but it is great to read some discourse on type.

Cufon is a way to replace text in HTML with a Canvas element or a VML, so that the type is rendered in a custom font, which may not be installed on the user’s system.

TooltipsThis is an example of a tooltip are little boxes of text that pop up when you hover over a link. They can rather easily be done with pure CSS.
