Little Buttons and Fonts
Rob Sable has a great post called Button Madness where he demystifies those cute little buttons everyone seems to have on their web pages. Of course I immediately used Button Maker to create my own “eBlog” button. 
The buttons use a short, skinny font called Silkscreen that was created by Jason Kottke and given away as a free TrueType font. It turns out this font is used everywhere, which I realized only after I saw it and started noticing it. As I type this into Moveable Type, I can see the font is used on the menu buttons.
