Wow. What a lot of politics over this issue (judging by the contents of the links above). One embedded-font solution free from Microshaft (naturally only works on IE) and one cross-browser solution that only exists bundled with other stuff you don't need, probably costing squillions (as it's apparently now aimed at the WebTV market).

Unless you particularly like any of the few downloadable fonts hosted at http://www.truedoc.com you're pretty much stuffed.

If you do find either (a) another website hosting .PFR fonts, or (b) a second-hand copy of the now-unsupported WebFonts Wizard software for creating them - LET ME KNOW! I've become mildly fascinated by the possibilities of this format...
