PC Magazine penned an article, Embedding Fonts in Web Pages, that explains how you can embed specialty fonts into your web pages. If this worked all the time, it would be great! No longer would you have to turn certain parts of web pages into graphics, just so your page turns out exactly how you want it.
The only problem that I see with this method, is that it still doesn't support all browsers. We start getting into a scenario where we will have to specify that "this website works best with browser XYZ." Yikes! With the movement back to standards and stylesheets, I was kinda hoping that we'd moved beyond that.
I will keep an eye on this, but right now I don't believe that this is the answer. It might be a great solution for an intranet, where you know all of the browsers will be IE version 6.0. But in the non-idealized world we actually live in, I don't see this happening.
