Yeah, that is a great plan. Only works for MSIE and was last updated
in February 2003. *

The web and a browser is not a text editing suite - the browser uses
the fonts installed on the client machine - web sites do not "embed"
the font. Therefore you are limited to a certain range of fonts:
http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/sampler-WindowsResults.shtml

There are several attempts at embedding fonts in pages, most of which
vanished with older browsers. The CSS specs also have an @font
directive, but it is hardly supported:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-descriptions

If you want to embed your font, you can use Flash replacement
techniques (http://usabletype.com/articles/2004/how-and-when-to-use-sifr/),
or generate images on the fly, but there is no surefire way to
download a font on the fly.
