Or can we? I will experiment a bit, but I guess something like this
would work:
@font-face {
font-family: glagolitic;
src: url("http://upload.wikimedia.org/fonts/glagolitic.ttf";);
}
body { font-family: sans-serif, glagolitic }
If default sans-serif font doesn't have Glagolitic characters, Firefox
will use any available font that has them, that should include
glagolitic.ttf .
