Sorry I wasn't sure where to post this. This is something a couple of my web
clients have been asking for and just to push the point one of them sent me this
page they had crafted. Apparently it will allow fonts to be picked up of the
server and carried to the browser for rendering. I am aware that the W3C had
been working on a system to do this but I thought it was dead. Is this why M$
have done their own system. 

Will Mozilla ever support this or the better the W3C standard way of doing it.
It would certainly be good and pretty cool too ! 

Just in case he has taken the page down this was the HTML Mozilla received:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
 
<style TYPE="text/css">
        <!-- /* $WEFT -- Created by: Dave (dave_weft@sourplum.org.uk) on
17/10/2003 -- */
  @font-face {
    font-family: Times New Roman;
    font-style:  normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    src: url(TIMESNE4.eot);
  }
  @font-face {
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-style:  normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    src: url(TAHOMA4.eot);
  }
  @font-face {
    font-family: Euro Sans ITCTT;
    font-style:  normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    src: url(EUROSAN3.eot);
  }
-->


</STYLE>

</head>
<body>
This is a test page, that may show embedded fonts.<br>
<br>
This is in normal font<br>
<br>
<font face="tahoma">This is in an embedded font 'tahoma', that may already be on
your machine<br>

<br>
<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Euro Sans ITCTT">This is in the embedded font - should all be euro
symbols<br>

</font><br>
<br>
Above should be a row of Euro symbols (the font is 'Euro Sans ITCTT') - if you
see that then it worked (The font has a euro symbol for each character)
