Hey guys,

this forum has been great to me, so I thought I'd seek your help with a non-flash issue.

I've been doing alot of research on embeding fonts to html, does anyone know if there has finally been a cross-browser solution, or if Netscape/Mozilla support embeded fonts now (cause netscape 6 didn't)

So far, the only thing I know works is using WFET but it only works on IE

You'd figure they'd have a solutions by now... tired of seeing Arial/Helvetica/Verdana all over unless they are gif's

or try this <style type="text/css">
@font-face {
font-family: EileenB;
src: url("path/to/yourfont.ttf") format("opentype");
}
p { font-family: EileenB, fantasy;
font-size: 300% }
body { font-family: verdana, serif;
