Yeah, it is only base64ing the woffs. The reason I post it is that it has all the benefits of this project (only CSS) without the downsides (being ridiculously hard to use).

Not all the benefits. It requires web font support. I don't see this as a huge downside, but it is a fairly big difference.
is there any browser that supports transforms (skews), but doesn't support web fonts?
Not that hard to use; just replace each letter with a span tag.

It's a simple regex substitution or map().
