is there a way to integrate those fonts using CSS?
or we use only system fonts in webDesign

Shlomi,
In addition to suggesting font families in CSS, you can also mandate
fonts using "Dynamic Text Replacement":
If you're using PHP you can create image files on the fly containing
any font you install on your site. It's not fast enough to be
practical for body text, but it works fine for the occasional headline.
Your first step will be to purchase a copy of the font(s) you'll be using.
Here's an example, a site in which the burgandy-colored headlines are
generated on the fly:
http://216.70.101.89/ (under construction)
The technique relies on JavaScript, converting text to images and
storing the original text as img alt. When either images or
JavaScript is disabled, the headlines render as plain text. It's
accessible and it degrades gracefully.
This technique uses PHP image functions: http://php.net/image
I've modified a script written by Stewart Rosenberger and described here:
