I really like the series of articles by Kayla Knight at Six Revisions:

CSS Typography: The Basics (http://sixrevisions.com/css/css-typography-01/)

CSS Typography: Techniques and Best Practices (http://sixrevisions.com/css/css-typography-02/)

Are there any other good ones you know of?

Thanks for the articles, I've had trouble linking in my mind the topic of typography and design to CSS and code. I particularly like the CSS3 text shadow :)

I found a nice article on combining typefaces (http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/11/04/best-practices-of-combining-typefaces/) by Smashing Magazine. It's really good as they show you how to create hierarchy in type by just using two fonts and the use of italics and bold. It drives home the importance of visual hierarchy in all aspects of design.
