There are currently ways for the popular browsers to have fonts embedded through CSS3. At the moment, there are a couple of methods used by various browsers, but I see it being more likely that font embedding will become unified than having a font list functionality being built into the spec and then all the browsers. I'm no expert on these things, but this would just seem more logical to me. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
