Look forward to a nightmare of unreadable web pages, with paragraphs rendered using faces that were intended for captions or titles. Oops, we have that already. So, watch for it to get worse.

Here's a way to get it worse: create a family of fonts, say, "sans-a", "sans-b", ..., "sans-z", "sans-space" and whatever. In each such font all the glyphs will look the same as the character in the name of the font. I guess that this should get compressed rather well.
Now all you need to do is apply the required @font-face attribute to each letter. And thus you write:
white
but the reader will see it as:
black

Yeah, but now we'll have a checkbox on the View menu to turn them off, which doesn't work when people render their text as illegible images.
