And eReader makers might ignore things anyway. Compare Amazon Kindle 2007 Language support & font support with 1997 Windows, Mac and Linux or even 1987 DOS support (you could do R to L or Hebrew, Cyrillic and Arabic in 1987 on DOS. But Classic Wordstar didn't even do 8 bit ASCII for accents, only 7 bit! Like a Daisywheel.).

Personally I hate the way many websites do fonts. Sheer arrogance and also an issue they don't bother hosting the fonts (possible with Google fonts) but load in real time from Google.
