Two points.
1) PLEASE don't quote entire messages. Several thousand subscribers 
don't need to see the whole thread over and over again.  BTW, most of us 
prefer bottom posting. Both are mentioned in the list policies.

2) Some provision for loadable fonts will be in one of the CSS3 modules. 
  The W3C CSS Working Group (I'm a member) has been discussing this 
recently.  The feature is not yet in any draft, but it is almost certain 
to occur in some form.  As to why it's not a priority, demand drives 
almost all W3C activity.  There are many other things that people have 
asked for more frequently than downloadable fonts.
