Maybe there is something I’m missing
about your question, but it is my understanding that actual fonts are provided
by the client operating system and it’s browser(s), using your html
and/or CSS as a guide, and I don’t believe many O/S’s will allow
you to cause them to be uploaded because of the potential for abuse.
One work around however is to use php’s
GD modules to turn the text into an image (using your font) and cause that
image to be displayed. Disadvantages would be processing time to generate
the image (you wouldn’t want to do this with each page fetch unless there
was some overriding reason like changing text). Another
disadvantage is that the image contents will NOT be scanned by search engines
to index the text contained in it (some may scan alt text).
Hope this helps,
