Jill,
I use Microsoft WEFT to embed fonts. I have had complaints that it does not
run on non-Windows platforms but then Bitstream does not either. The
problem with Bitstream is that it requires an active-x control to be
installed and many people will not do that. WEFT is also free.
Try http://www.microsoft.com/typography/default.mspx
For example I use the Papyrus font for some of my Web pages. When I build
the WEFT file I create a dummy page with all the characters that I might use
so that I do not have to update the file when I make changes to the web
pages. Then I embed in each page:
<!-- /* $WEFT -- Created by: Carl W. Brown (webmaster@xnetinc.com) on
2/17/2002 -- */
@font-face {
font-family: Papyrus;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(PAPYRUS3.eot);
}
-->
Carl

Aaargh! No it doesn't!!!! PLEASE stop filling this thread with stuff which
does not address the original question. I am interested in WEB PAGES.
Nothing else. Not Acrobat Files. Not Word files. Nothing. JUST WEB PAGES. If
you can't do it on a bog standard HTML page, it's not answering the
question.
Frustrated with all these unrelated side-issues, I decided to try Google
instead. (Google often gives better answers about things than specialist
lists!). I found a really good demo of exactly what I was after at
"http://www.truedoc.com/webpages/intro/". Of course, I still don't know if
this is state-of-the-art, or whether something better has turned up since
then.
If anyone has any further information about how to embed fonts in HTML
files, please let me know.
Thanks
Jill

Of course Adobe was designed to do just the problem you defined,
