I know there is a way to embed any fonts you would like on the actual page. Microsoft has a product called WEFT that you can download and it will convert any font to an embeddable font. You can then use any font you would like on your page. Note: there are 2 different formats for Netscape and Microsoft, but I think the WEFT will convert to both
