72813 - [RFE] Mozilla should support embedded fonts

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 70132

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, enhancement)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

With CSS2 it's possible to use fonts not installed on the local machine to
display in websites: the syntax is like this:
@font-face { font-family:Bank Gothic Medium BT; url(bankgothic.ttf) 
format(truetype); }

For a complete reference, please see chapter 15.3.5 of the CSS2 reference:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#referencing

All you need to know is the font name (font-family), where it resides (url), and 
its format.

Not really a DOM issue, more of a core style system issue.
Also, not a mozilla1.0 goal, so nominating for mozilla1.2.

[RFE] is deprecated in favor of severity: enhancement.  They have the same meaning.
