Yes, that was WHY I was complaining. I use Linux, so none of the new fonts will show up for me. I just see Sans and Sans-Serif everywhere. There's no difference.
If free fonts were available for usage in blogs and comments, everyone would see them the same way because everyone could download and use them. What's the point in saying "now you can set it so that people who have expensive proprietary fonts can see those expensive proprietary fonts on your blog"?
Oh, sorry, I forgot I'm the only Linux user on this entire site. But surely there are some Mac users? There's no way EVERYONE on theO has Windows fonts.
How about you back off the snark and actually think about what you originally said which was:
All are Windows fonts? Proprietary fonts? I'm sad.
You didn’t explain why you were sad, you just whined, nothing more, nothing less. If you had clarified from the beginning that you can't see it because of your operating system, instead of just complaining, I wouldn’t have bothered to reply.
I really don't appreciate the fact that I am being treated like an utter moron who needs to learn a lesson, just for using a free operating system instead of one I paid for. And I'm grateful to the creators of this site, but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to make suggestions, or that being "grateful" means saying "OMG THANK YOU THIS IS SO AWESOME~~ :D"
Like I said, you didn’t bother to explain anything. And your reply here is only making you look more like a moron, btw. Also, complaining, without bothering to explain why you don’t like something, isn’t a suggestion, not by a long shot. So you can just get off that pity party of ‘you’re so mean and treating me like I'm stupid’.
Next time, instead of blinding whining like a little child, actually take the time to fully spell out your complaint or concern, I’m not a mind reader you know. =P

You do know that all web fonts have to be on the computer of the user right? Or they don't see it. Plus embedded fonts only work in IE, so attaching them to a CSS style sheet for downloading won't work for everyone.
So if Adam decided to waste money purchasing new fonts, he would also have to pay for the rights to allow people to download it from a CSS style sheet or from the site period.
Where using existing fonts that nearly every user out there has, gives people more choices without unnecessary expenses and complications.

Try Googling "msttcorefonts." You can get most of these fonts free and legally in Linux.

I was wondered before why the small number of optional fonts to choose ffrom to write posts when I first came to theOtaku.com.
Thanks for new font options, Adam! Keep up the good work with new feature installments! Three cheers to ya'!!
