Actually, strictly speaking, this is *not true*. CSS2 offers a way to embed font descriptions in a page, so that the font will display *regardless* of whether it exists on the user's machine or not (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-descriptions). HOWEVER, this ability is not yet widely supported, so don't get your hopes up unless you happen to be developing for a really recent browser/plug-in. The Adobe SVG Viewer does support this ability, and I've included an example of what an embedded font description looks like below (although, since it is all encoded, good luck reading the actual font part :). This snip encodes descriptions for most of the letters of a font called Madison Avenue. I'm not sure what the encoding scheme is.
