If I want to use a specific font that I know it is not available in most of the user's computer, is it possoble to embed the font in my web site in some way? I have gone to some web site using special fonts as text, but not as image. I wonder how it works.

Thanks Mayur

I have not tried this myself since it was just announced very, very recently. But it looks like a good alternative right now.
