Through CSS @font-face Firefox 3.5 adds the ability to download a TrueType font from the webserver. All web designers shall henceforth therefore incorporate all redistributable fonts into their library! :-)Unfortunately, very few creators of fonts have been so generous to license their intellectual property as open source; blessed are Gentium and Bitstream Vera.
Giving preference and favor to using fonts in web design which are free for redistribution through the @font-face means can lighten the download weight of a webpage, and bring increased flexibility, by enabling your CSS/HTML builder to put copy directly in the HTML instead of only in raster image formats.
