Ask yourself which hipster start-up is going to do a comprehensive rewrite job on OpenSSL - or, for that matter, which SV VC is going to bung a few million green sheets into something like this (which, if we're honest, we could all do with happening, rather than the next DOA social media start up with a -ly/-able/-r suffix).

If these people are prepared to take this on, then they can use whatever fonts they bloody well like. As a web hipster, I will pay them for punishing my hubris.

Having said that, I can't seem to find a browser in which the blink tags actually, er, blink. Did all the vendors shitcan it on the quiet? I think we should be told.

Firefox dumped it in version 23, and they did report that on the changelog[1]. jwz even wrote a post lamenting it[2].

That doesn't surprise me, but IE10 in IE7 compat mode in IE5 Quirks document mode still didn't blink for me. Farewell, old friend.

(Wonder if marquee still works. EDIT: yes, it does. Thank the lord for that.)

But it blinks in FF 24 ESR ...
