It is a pretty clever effect. I think it certainly helps to understand
Portuguese to know what's going on there and to actually get the joke.

I think that they definitely did embed the font; it just doesn't show
up the first time around. You need to supply your name in the "Seu
Nome" field and then click on "Visualizar" to see it.

Now, I'm not sure why they play the video without a name to begin
with; that part seems to make no sense to me.

Ah, now I get it. I noticed that the mouse cursor turned into the text
cursor thing and had thought it was because of a textfield under the
video.

Since I switched to Linux I noticed that many assume certain fonts to
just be installed. You can't do that. Check if it really is on the
client, if not, load it dynamically. Some users will not even see
there is some text otherwise.
