Alright.
Issue:
No way for use to use more than non-standard fonts.
"Solutions":
Image replacement, auto generate them with scripting, flash.. ewww...
None of these are solutions. They are all work-arounds for the problem.
I have read through css 2 standard and the font parts of css 3 and
this common problem is not addressed. Did I miss it?
Is it possible that we can have the browsers load the fonts into
memory while viewing the page? Because you can't have the user just
download them because there are licenses on fonts. Flash gets around
it by "encoding" the fonts. I know people will hack and get around
any method you use but is it possible to have a method that is just
hard enough that most people don't care to try.
I would love to hear what other people think and have to say about this.
If this post is not supposed to go here, I'm sorry I'm new to the
list, point me in the right direction.
Sorry guys to rant but I have just about had enough of creating these
images...
Nick
