Embedding fonts

[marnanel]

CSS is going to let you embed fonts. So you won't just give a name of a font, you'll be able to give a URL and have the font downloaded to the user's computer. Safari can do this already, and Firefox will have it in 3.5. Here's a demo page.

I've added this to the Shavian wiki so it automatically downloads a Shavian font, but that's not much use because it only currently works on Safari and Macs are clever enough to show Shavian out of the box!

Safari is available for Windows too ;)
