If the sense of the text absolutely depends on its being displayed in a
particular font, might it be better to display it in an image? Helvetica
and Arial are on almost every computer, but an image would leave no
doubt, and since the content is, essentially, the visual representation
of itself, an image would seem to me to be semantically appropriate.
Using an image would also avoid the issues that would come up if you
were demonstrating a font via markup that a user doesn't happen to have
installed. The browser could wind up defaulting to a completely
different font than what you were attempting to illustrate.
