I adore this for whatever low or high tech. As for me all this web-font stuff seems a huge piece of BS (except for rare cases when a website is meant to be more of a piece of art than serving a practical function or when you need to use an exotic language letters of which are rare to be found in the standard fonts on clients' computers) and I just block external fonts all the time.
For developers it always seems like a good idea to use the system defaults but then you push it out to users and find out they all have insane defaults that work like crap.
I had someone complaining to me that my mailto: link doesn't work but actually its just they had the wrong mail client set as default on their system.
Not using custom web fonts that have to be loaded from external resources doesn't imply using pure defaults of the client's system. You still can specify font size and style with pure CSS.
