Does anyone know if it is possible to use a font in a website that is not installed on the viewers computer?
I'd guess it isn't possible except if the user gets a dialog and clicks yes to install the font... but that doesn't look very professional i think...

Yeh this is good, tells you all about it on the site, but briefly if flash is installed it shows the font you want in the same spot as the text would be and the same size like magic, and if flash isnt installed then it shows the css styles, AND IT STILL LETS YOUR SITE VALIDATE!
