How to choose a font for a website?

Typography: What font permission is necessary to use a font for a website logo (as embedded image)?

If a font has a "Preview and Print" permission, is it okay to use it for a logo image used on a website. I realize that embedding the font may require a different level permission..
Answer:

Yes, that is almost always allowed. According to nearly all foundries, once the font is converted to an image (raster or outlined vector) it's no longer considered usable font software and thus usable in any medium. It's embedding the font itself or serving it via CSS that requires permissions specifically granted in the license. Of course, all of this implies that you have a basic license to use the font in the first place.
