Hi Simon,
There are a lot of people who strongly dislike Garamond, I know from experience
with typesetting. [This goes to the point of my previous email.] And a modified
Garamond is/was the Apple corporate font since 1984, so the whole family looks
terribly tired and overused.
I am probably making myself unpopular here, but I say leave it alone.
If not to be, then you may want to have a look at the Linxu Libertine fonts, a
nice open source project with sound typographic design.
But how are you going to serve the web fonts with low latency? What are you
proposing?
Andrew
[And if you really have to do this I have a lot of experience coding webfont
techniques for websites, so I am happy to help and contribute.]

that someone might come up with another good, free Garamond that had
escaped my notice – probably wishful thinking though.
