I’ve now signed up for a Typekit account and have used Ligurino on this site for it’s clean lines.
The interface for choosing and adding fonts is fantastic and very very user friendly.
The fonts look great on a Mac although there does seem to be a few rendering issues on Windows.
I’d be especially keen to use this for logos or headings as the larger font sizes seem to display the best.

I’ve done work on Macs before and always enjoyed it but I’ve managed to get my hands on a MacBook Pro which I’ll be doing lots of my work with.

The first evening was pretty much spent installing programs and typing into Google “mac short cut for ……” but after a few days of working on it I can highly recommend it. It’s lightning fast and opening up new programs is almost seamless. This really helps my workflow as I’m not getting distracted whilst the new program opens up.
Not to mention the excellent battery life, it’s really nice to have a laptop that can be used as one and not have to look for a power supply before even thinking about getting into some work.
