I feel compelled to point out that this is only part of the story.
First of all, it is always possible to specify a weird font as first
choice, as long as you're willing to put up with fallback to another
font.

Second -- and more important -- is the fact that more and more
browsers support dynamic font embedding as specified in the CSS2
standard; please see http://www.alistapart.com/articles/cssatten and
http://en.wikipedia.org/Dynamic_fonts .  It's not universal yet, but
with any luck, it will become more so.

Good luck!

Best,
