Except that this font doesn't appear to work on the web, it's only for use in software that supports higher typography features, such as Adobe applications.
I'm using it in MOAI with harfbuzz. Its a brilliant font and makes adding simple HUD-style GUI's to my app very fun, indeed (hint: using a "printf" to get -> a graph == fun!!)
Also, being able to add css shadows. You can make shadows in SVG, but they will be different than the css shadows on the rest off the page, and generally a PITA

And it's also nice to be able to change the colour of your monochrome vector graphics.

Even browsers support have supported alternate font styles for years now. http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/11/firefox-4-font-feature-supp...
In the part i was replying to the parent was not referring to this font specifically, but the font-graphics concept.

Yes, the main use of this will probably be to create graphs in adobe applications.
