Late to this thread, but this may still be apposite despite the philosophical bent of the posts that I have just read, AND these are I think proprietary solutions.
For Internet Explorer you can create embedded fonts [ IE 4+ ], and there is also a Netscape supply of downloadable fonts - PFR but you have to use "WebFont Maker" from BitStream. Fatal flaw with this is that is NOT supported in NS 6#. Anyway for those who might be curious: Microsoft WEFT- http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft/ For CSS2 see: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-selection Tip: Apparently if you are using WEFT you should first create an "Embedded Open Type Font File" [ eot ] fileand post it to a folder on your server. To call this use CSS rule: @font-face { font-family: name; font-style: your-choice; font-weight: normal?; src: url(http://www.yourserver.com/fonts/your-font-name.eot); } Visiting Wellington?
