but these are not True Type. To be used a font has to be available on
the users machine/device and one cannot install fonts for the user if
they do not have the font available.
This may sound like a stupid q but why?
Well fonts are a function of the operating system on which the user
agent resides. The user agent(browser in most cases) presents the web
page either in a default font or in a font family requested (CSS) if the
requested font is not available then a system default font will be applied.
Further True Type fonts are not universally installed on all operating
systems, Linux/Unix may or may not have TT fonts. The need to present a
specific font to a user with ease can only be done graphically.
I suggest reading http://www.mezzoblue.com/tests/revised-image-replacement/
to apply an acceptable method.
