Font support on the web has classically been a huge hinderance to designers
because of OS limitations. Various workaround have evolved over time (Image
replacement, sIFR, cufon, etc). The best solution in terms of ease,
performance, and accessibility at present is CSS @font-face rules.

Definitely look into using http://drupal.org/project/fontyourface which can
assist in the issue. However, many fonts aren't licensed to support webpage
embedding. Gil Sans is likely not (being that the foundry is Monotype).

You might consider typefaces here
http://typekit.com/libraries/full?style=Sans+Serif&tags=humanist as
licensable replacements for Gil Sans via the fontyourface module.
