Basically, in order to use this, the font your want use has to allow "web embedding" in it's EULA. Here's a chart I found on which foundries use this:

So, basically, if your font falls in the proper category, you can use it.

Hope this helps!

SiFR is great with licensed fonts. You can control access to the font (like we do on G&G.com).

Licenses can take some extra work. There's a javascript method that we didn't go with for font replacement because of the EULA issues.

While we're on the subject ... I was slightly frustrated yesterday when I right-clicked on a podcast title link to copy the location to the clipboard, and couldn't since it was Flash!

However, this motivated me to try to find a solution in sIFR (which I'd never met before), and I finally managed to implement a simple fix in sIFR 3 (hopefully it will be included in a future release).

For those who are interested, details are on the sIFR forum.

So - thank you for 'inadvertently' motivating me to learn about sIFR and add an enhancement ... ;-)

PS - Has anyone been able to work out how to use (i.e. recognise and type in correct words for) that new captcha system for anonymous forum posts when on audio mode? It's probably the hardest task on a website that I've had for ages...! ;-)

Or you can check for the font styles you want at a place like Font Squirrel and use their font-face kits (free). They may not have the precise font you want, but perhaps they have one close enough.

Cufon, SiFR, and the rest are simply crude stop-gap measures on the road to downloadable fonts.

There is a wiki on g.d.o regarding Font to Image Rendering options in Drupal.
