The State of Web Typography
summary
Claims about actual browser support and tools make the decision easy: web fonts require multiple formats because eot only works in IE8, WOFF2 has limited support today and font-face options like font-variant and font-feature-settings are practically unusable across many browsers. Unicode-range subset loading works only in WebKit so fallback subsets need manual pages. Kerning is enabled by default in Safari but requires font-feature fallbacks elsewhere. Hyphenation improves justification but Chrome ships no dictionaries; a JS polyfill and the new CSS hyphenate-limit-* properties are practical fixes. Stateofwebtype.com aggregates this data.
