I would like to use a bit more of a rare font on my page.
I assume that if the person viewing my site does not have the font, they will not be able to view the page.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks,
Josh

You can use the "rare font", but you can specify backup ones, e.g.
font: 100%/2 Calibri, Corbel, "Segoe UI", Verdana, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;

Or, for an even more complicated route:

I'd just go with Stephan, if I were you, and say 'no'

For headlines and other relatively short text you can use sIFR pretty effectively:

For full pages you can use PDF instead of HTML and embed the font (provided its licence allows you to do so).
