Just think, every page load that isn't cached will have to serve up the fonts identified in your stylesheet. Ouch.

I would add though that if you do use web fonts you need to make sure that you purchase the right licence (it needs to say that you are allowed to use the font on the web), unless it’s a free font. There are some good free fonts available on google web fonts, kernest and theleagueofmoveabletype.com. However, using custom fonts may slow down your website and sometimes a client may want a specific font. In that case typekit.com is a great source. They host fonts and you can test how fonts will look like on a screen. Great article, using custom fonts can really make a difference to a design.

It's one of many options. You might even give it a name like, "Symmetrical vertical rhythm". But it's a mistake to rigidly stick to line-height and margin-bottom being equal. It is quite acceptable to have no extra leading at all (indenting paragraphs) or as little as half an em. But all in all, an excellent article. Every time I see a link to an article on typography, I have to follow it, and yours is one of the better ones I've seen! “The concept of vertical rhythm is simple: Line heights, margins, and padding should all be equal or within even proportion.”
