That's cufon, give the guy a break. That was cutting edge two years ago. We've gone from no-one but IE supporting font-face to lots of people in a remarkably short-time.

Forget about font-faces. How about supporting the default fonts and sizes that I selected, so that I don't go blind trying to read the page?

He uses cufon on the website, but this page is just a bunch of jpegs — mail1.jpg, mail2.jpg, etc.

Exactly. Images-for-text was never cutting-edge.
