Right. Interesting ideas. If you look back you will see brief discussion 
between me and PMario concerning *ways round the 'local machine' font 
problem*.

I think its worth commenting on some of the options ---

1 - *Use Web Fonts From Web. *I think PMario would not be too keen on this 
as you'd need to online connect your wiki to a distant server and all that 
involves. 

2 - *Use Web Fonts Once Downloaded. *Many free web fonts can be downloaded. 
DOWNSIDE: adds *a lot *of complexity to set-up.

3 - *Embed Glyphs in a Custom Font that comes with the plugin*. This might 
be good. ISSUES: What size would it be? Who would have knowledge how to 
make it? And have the time? 

Best wishes
