This is one of my most common annoyances on web, and I am glad more and more people are taking an interest. For those with an interest in a deeper understanding of typography in general, I can't recommend The Elements of Typographic Style enough. Web is still primitive in the way it handles a lot of this, but there are some shining examples out there. The New Yorker is my favorite of these. To understand why, find a text hyperlink containing a descender (g,y,j,q,p) and observer how elegantly it is handled.

I strongly believe that in order to do good interaction work you really just need to understand typography well. That might not be a popular viewpoint around here, but I encourage you to consider some of these references.

I recommend Josef Muller-Brockmann's Grid Systems in Graphic Design: http://www.amazon.com/Grid-Systems-Graphic-Design-Communicat... or Emil Ruder's Typographie: http://www.amazon.com/Typographie-Manual-Design-Emil-Ruder/d....

There are many, many other good resources but those are important primary sources. So is The Elements of Typographic Style, by Robert Bringhurst: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0881792128/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_d....
