Sending out a font?

[Achilles]

I don't know how I could do this, but I want to use a font that not everybody has; how can I send a certain font to the client? Is there a way?

You can put the font up for download, with instructions on how to install it. That's really your only option other than <shudder>images for text/letters</shudder>

more options are to embed the font. you can do this with htaccess (but never can remember the url that shows this) or there are some IE only ways in css. also some ways in css that won'y work in IE.

Another option to throw on the pile is sIFR.

And another one would be to use PHP's GD library to create dynamic text images on-the-fly, though this option may be a bit hardcore for some.
