Sorry, not "most" -- I was thinking of Dreamweaver MX. But also HtmlArea and 
Tiny_MCE, which are surprisingly effective WYSIWYG html-editing widgets you 
can embed on web pages. It ensures documents degrade gracefully on systems 
without those fonts installed.

What editors? The only recent HTML-editor that I am slightly familiar with
apart from Amaya, is Mozilla Composer, which does not do it. HTML-kit might
do it, but I have not yet had a reason to look into it.
