I want to use a non-standard font on a site. Is there anyway I can acheive this if the usr dosn't have the font installed?
I.e. can I 'preload' a font for the site onto the users machine?
Cheers

Theres also a way to do it using some clever JavaScript and Flash
I looked into that Az, thanks very much, it works very well indeed. Thanks also to Kezzer.

Was lucky i remember reading that article from way back when. Did it work by the way?
Embedding fonts is a bad idea due to the potential for someone to use it as a security hole which means most modern browsers won't allow it without at least some form of user interaction. You should really stick to standard fonts as it allows the visually impaired to ensure they can view the application or site in the manner they choose
Yep your method did work Kezzer. Also, I know Az, the site isn't for The Web however.
