Hi all,  
What is the current practice regarding using non-standard fonts? I have a client that likes the font I am using for graphically generated text, and wants to use the same font for their text. The problem is it is a non-standard font.

Is it possible to have the user download the font behind the scenes so they can view the content?

Thanks in advance!
