Here's another option: plain text.

That's right. You can have webpages that are plain text without any HTML formatting, and they will render.

Here is an example file:

  This is text.

This is the absolute best way of presenting web content. No one will complain.

The difference between web fonts and HTML/CSS is that HTML loads progressively and markup doesn't weight more than all other resources. So I am ok with both plain text and HTML pages but not ok with fonts until browser vendors make a better implementation and make them optional.
